Behind the Scenes: The Tech Stack Powering Peeringhub’s Real-Time Certificate Issuance

 


Fast, Reliable, and Secure — Every Time

In telecom, delays mean disruption. That's why at Peeringhub.io, we’ve engineered a real-time STIR/SHAKEN certificate issuance system that’s not only fast but incredibly reliable and scalable.

But what actually powers that speed? What makes Peeringhub stand out as a trusted CA for VoIP providers, CLECs, and telcos?

Today, we take you behind the scenes to explore the robust tech stack that fuels Peeringhub’s instant certificate issuance platform.

🧠 The Need for Real-Time Issuance in Telecom

Telecom networks are dynamic—new customers onboard every day, routes shift hourly, and call authentication must be immediate.

Traditional CA models often introduce friction:

  • Manual verification delays
  • Slow API response times
  • Limited automation support

Peeringhub solves this with real-time, automated issuance built for modern telecom infrastructure.

⚙️ Core Components of Peeringhub’s Tech Stack

Let’s break down what drives our performance and reliability.

1. ACME API for Automated Issuance

We utilize a custom-optimized ACME (Automated Certificate Management Environment) API to allow:

  • Instant issuance of STIR/SHAKEN certificates
  • API-first workflows for VoIP platforms
  • Seamless integration with Kamailio, FreeSWITCH, and other softswitches
  • Support for bulk provisioning and scheduled renewals

It’s fully REST-compliant, secure, and built for high concurrency.

2. Kubernetes-Powered Scalability

Our backend services are deployed in a Kubernetes (K8s) cluster for:

  • Auto-scaling based on real-time demand
  • Zero-downtime updates and rapid rollbacks
  • Isolated workloads for multi-tenant support

This ensures uninterrupted performance during peak hours or major client onboarding events.

3. NGINX and Redis for API Speed & Session Caching

To accelerate request handling and ensure low-latency responses:

  • NGINX acts as a load balancer and reverse proxy
  • Redis powers our session cache and short-lived certificate metadata

This guarantees that your certificate requests are processed within milliseconds.

4. Hardened PKI Infrastructure

Our Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is:

  • Fully STIR/SHAKEN-compliant
  • Operated under secure, redundant HSMs (Hardware Security Modules)
  • Regularly audited and governed under strict issuance policies

Each certificate is signed, tracked, and distributed with full transparency and trust chain compliance.

5. Real-Time Monitoring with Prometheus & Grafana

Peeringhub employs Prometheus for telemetry and Grafana dashboards to:

  • Monitor certificate issuance and API health
  • Flag anomalies or latencies in real time
  • Alert engineers before issues impact customers

Our team sees what’s happening, before you feel it.

6. Secure Cloud Infrastructure

Hosted on a hybrid multi-cloud architecture with encrypted data transfer, redundancy, and geographically distributed nodes, our infrastructure guarantees:

  • Global availability
  • Low-latency access regardless of region
  • Secure, fail-safe certificate lifecycle management

💡 Why This Stack Matters to You

This tech stack is not just about speed—it’s about giving you:

  • Instant onboarding & issuance
  • 🧩 Smooth integrations with existing VoIP tools
