Web applications that hold up in production.

From a blank repository to a deployed, observable, scalable application. Typed end-to-end, tested where it matters, handed over with a runbook.

§ 01The problem

The problem we solve

Most web applications are delivered as a frontend a contractor wrote, a backend nobody owns, a database with no migrations and a deploy script in a Slack message. Six months later, no one can ship without breaking something. We build full-stack systems the way senior engineers operate them — typed, instrumented, documented, boring in the parts that should be boring.

§ 02Capabilities

What we ship

  • 01Greenfield product architecture with written ADRs
  • 02Next.js / React frontends, accessible and fast by default
  • 03Node.js, Python or Go backends, typed and documented
  • 04Postgres schema design, migrations, backups and PITR
  • 05Authentication, authorization, RBAC and session engineering
  • 06Payments, billing, subscriptions and metered usage
  • 07Email, file storage, scheduled jobs and background workers
  • 08CI/CD with staging environments and database migrations on rails
  • 09Observability: logs, metrics, traces, alerts and synthetic checks
  • 10Production deploy on your cloud — not ours
§ 03Deliverables

What you receive

  • A repository you fully own, with commit history
  • A runbook covering deploy, rollback, incidents and on-call
  • Architecture diagram and ADRs for every meaningful decision
  • A demo video walkthrough of the codebase for your engineers
§ 04Stack

Stack we reach for

TypeScript
Next.js
React
Node.js
Python · FastAPI
Go
Postgres
Redis
Stripe
Auth0 · Clerk · Lucia
Docker
Terraform
GitHub Actions
Datadog · Grafana
§ 05Ideal for

Ideal for

  • Founders moving from prototype to revenue
  • Teams replacing a no-code stack that hit its ceiling
  • B2B SaaS companies whose internal tools need to be reliable, not flashy
  • Companies inheriting a codebase nobody understands anymore
§ 06Process

How an engagement runs

  1. 01

    Discovery

    One-week scoping: outcomes, constraints, stack, integrations. You leave with a written proposal and a fixed price.

  2. 02

    Architecture

    Schema, services, integrations and deployment architecture decided on paper before any code is written.

  3. 03

    Build in vertical slices

    Each milestone is a slice that goes all the way from database to UI to deploy. Weekly demos against acceptance criteria.

  4. 04

    Ship & operate

    Production deploy, runbook, on-call rotation if needed, training session for your engineers.

  5. 05

    Warranty

    30 days of post-launch warranty included. Bugs in our work are fixed at no cost.

§ 07Engagement

How to engage

01

Discovery Sprint

1 — 2 weeks

Architecture, scope and price for a build. Useful when you need a written diagnosis before committing capital.

02

Fixed-Scope Build

6 — 16 weeks

Senior-led delivery against named milestones. Fixed price, fixed scope, written acceptance criteria.

03

Embedded Team

3 — 12 months

One or more partners embedded in your engineering team, working in your repos and rituals.

§ 08Common questions

Frequently asked.

01Do you work with our existing codebase?

Yes. We start with a paid 3 — 5 day audit that produces a written report, then we agree on what to build or refactor.

02Will we own the code?

Always. Everything we write is yours from the first commit. We hand over repositories, infrastructure and credentials.

03Where do we deploy?

Your cloud — AWS, GCP, Hetzner, your own VPS. We don't lock you into our infrastructure.

04Can we extend the engagement after launch?

Yes — either on a monthly retainer for ongoing engineering or as embedded support during a specific period.

Have a problem worth solving well?

Tell us the outcome you want. We'll tell you what it takes — honestly, within a week, in writing.
