The Problem

Common Challenges for SaaS companies, mobile app developers, and platform businesses running high-traffic APIs

These are the issues that consistently come up when SaaS companies, mobile app developers, and platform businesses running high-traffic APIs try to scale on the wrong infrastructure.

Challenge 1

API response times on shared VPS vary by 2-10x depending on neighbour load - causing downstream timeout errors in mobile apps and SaaS integrations

Challenge 2

Cloud auto-scaling adds cold-start latency when new instances spin up during traffic spikes - APIs need instant capacity, not 30-second scaling delays

Challenge 3

Per-request pricing on serverless/cloud API hosting makes high-traffic APIs prohibitively expensive at scale

How We Help

How Glitch Servers Solves This

APIs are the backbone of modern applications - mobile apps, SaaS platforms, IoT devices, and third-party integrations all depend on consistent, fast API responses. On shared infrastructure, API response times vary with neighbour load, causing timeout errors in downstream applications and degraded user experience. A dedicated server provides guaranteed CPU and RAM for your API workload, consistent response latency, and the throughput to handle traffic spikes without queuing.

External resources: LINX (London Internet Exchange) and RIPE NCC (European IP registry).


A Glitch Servers dedicated server provides fixed-cost, consistent-performance API hosting. Xeon processors handle thousands of concurrent API requests without response time degradation. NVMe storage keeps database-backed API queries fast. 10Gbps burst port option handles high-throughput API traffic without bandwidth bottlenecks. DDoS protection keeps your API endpoint online during attacks. Deploy with Nginx, Caddy, or any reverse proxy - full root access means your API stack runs exactly as designed.

What You Get

Built for SaaS companies, mobile app developers, and platform businesses running high-traffic APIs

The features that matter most for your workload, included as standard.

Consistent Response Latency

Dedicated CPU means no response time variability from resource contention. P99 latency stays consistent regardless of what time of day traffic hits - critical for SLA-bound APIs.

🛡

10Gbps API Throughput

The optional 10Gbps burst port handles high-throughput API traffic - JSON payloads, webhook deliveries, and file transfer APIs all have massive bandwidth headroom.

🔧

DDoS Protected Endpoints

Public APIs are DDoS targets. Always-on Corero mitigation keeps your API responding while attack traffic is scrubbed at the network edge. No manual intervention needed.

💰

NVMe Database Performance

Database-backed APIs (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB) benefit from NVMe's sub-millisecond I/O. Complex queries that bottleneck on disk complete in microseconds, keeping API responses fast.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Depends on your API complexity. A Xeon E3 running Node.js or Go can handle 10,000-50,000 simple requests/second. Database-heavy APIs are typically 1,000-5,000 req/sec depending on query complexity.
Yes. Nginx or HAProxy as a reverse proxy/load balancer in front of your API application is a common and efficient setup on a single dedicated server.
For high-traffic APIs with predictable load, dedicated is cheaper and faster (no cold starts). For low-traffic or highly variable APIs, serverless can be more cost-effective. Most production APIs benefit from dedicated hardware.
