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 DDoS 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.
