A Real Product for a Real Problem — Not a Generic Load Balancer

InDesign Server runs as multiple headless instances that leak memory, hang on complex layouts, and crash without warning. A TCP or HTTP load balancer cannot detect these issues. Our custom load balancing solution sits directly in front of your InDesign Server farm, understands Adobe InDesign cluster management, and keeps jobs flowing with built-in failover automation, even when individual instances fail.

Submit jobs, poll status, and receive webhook callbacks through a clean REST contract. No SOAP plumbing in your application code.

Routes each request to the healthiest instance based on live CPU, memory, queue depth, and render state — not a port ping.

Detects ghost processes, stuck renders, and memory leaks. Kills and respawns instances with zero manual intervention.

On-demand jobs jump the line while batch catalogs run in the background, governed by configurable SLA policies.

Our Expertise

Deep InDesign Engineering — Not Just Infrastructure

We’ve been building on Adobe InDesign for over 15 years as a certified Adobe Partner — plugins, scripts, server automation, and high-volume PDF automation systems. That deep engine-level expertise enables us to build InDesign Server scalability solutions that actually perform under production load.

15+ Years

Adobe Partner

A team that has shipped C++ SDK plugins, UXP extensions, and server scripts. We know how the InDesign engine behaves under load.

50+ Multi-Instance Deployments

Delivered for publishers, universities, franchise retailers, and Web2Print platforms across AWS, Azure, and on-premise.

Real-Time Health Dashboard

Per-node visibility into CPU, RAM, render-per-second, job history, and failure reasons. Built in, not bolted on.

Licensing-Aware Scaling

The balancer respects your InDesign Server license count and extracts 25–35% more throughput from the footprint you already own.

We don't just install software — we transplant years of InDesign engine knowledge into your production stack.

How We Work

From Discovery to a Fully Automated InDesign Server Stack

A proven five-step approach designed to deliver InDesign Server scalability, robust failover automation, and enterprise-grade high-volume PDF automation environments.

01

Volume Analysis

We evaluate your average and peak job volumes to determine the ideal number of InDesign instances.

02

Architecture & API Design

We map your applications to our REST endpoints — job submit, status, callbacks, priority lanes — and design the secure network layout.

03

Product Deployment & Tuning

The Load Balancer is installed, license-bound, and tuned for timeouts, auto-restart windows, and per-template memory ceilings.

04

Failure-Mode Stress Testing

We deliberately kill nodes, flood the queue, and corrupt inputs to prove the auto-heal and priority logic hold under real conditions.

05

Go-Live, Dashboards & Managed Support

You ship with a live health dashboard, runbooks, and optional 24/7 managed support from our InDesign Server team.
