A surprising share of self-hosted outages come down to one thing: a certificate
expired and nobody was watching the calendar. It is the most predictable failure
in infrastructure, which makes it the most embarrassing.

Naasson Apps issues and renews certificates automatically for every domain it
manages. Renewal happens well before expiry, the new certificate is validated
before it is swapped in, and a failed renewal raises an alert while there is still
plenty of runway to fix it.

The goal is that certificates become something you never think about — not because
they are hidden, but because the failure mode has been removed rather than merely
monitored.
