A proven process for production-ready software
From discovery to deployment, our engineering-driven process ensures your project is built with the same rigor we'd apply to our own products.
Discovery & Technical Assessment
Before writing any code, we deeply understand your business context, technical landscape, and success criteria. This isn't just requirements gathering—it's strategic alignment.
Technical Due Diligence
Audit existing codebase, infrastructure, and integrations. Identify technical debt and opportunities.
Stakeholder Interviews
Understand business goals, user needs, and constraints from key decision-makers.
Feasibility Analysis
Evaluate technical approaches, estimate complexity, and identify potential risks early.
Deliverables
- Technical requirements document (TRD)
- System context diagrams
- Risk assessment matrix
- Preliminary timeline & budget estimate
- Go/no-go recommendation
Architecture & System Design
We design systems that scale, maintain, and evolve. This phase produces the blueprints that guide every engineering decision.
System Architecture
Database Design
API Contracts
Infrastructure Plan
Architecture Decisions
Monolith vs. Microservices
Right-sized architecture for your scale
Sync vs. Async Processing
Event-driven where it matters
Data Storage Strategy
SQL, NoSQL, vectors, caching layers
Security & Compliance
Auth, encryption, audit trails
Iterative Development
We build in 2-week sprints with working software delivered at each iteration. No big-bang releases—continuous, demonstrable progress.
Each Sprint Includes
Engineering Standards
Readable, maintainable, well-documented code that your team can own
Unit, integration, and E2E tests. CI/CD runs tests on every commit
Automated builds, tests, and deployments. Ship with confidence
AI/ML Integration
For AI-powered projects, we apply additional rigor: prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, cost optimization, and observability from day one.
AI Tech Stack
LLM Providers
OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini
Frameworks
LangChain, LlamaIndex
Vector DBs
PGVector, Pinecone
Observability
LangSmith, Langfuse
Deployment & Launch
Production deployment with zero-downtime strategies, comprehensive monitoring, and rollback capabilities. We don't just deploy—we ensure it runs.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform, reproducible environments
Monitoring & Alerts
Prometheus, Grafana, PagerDuty
Blue-Green Deploys
Zero-downtime releases
Security Hardening
WAF, secrets management, audits
Launch Checklist
Support & Evolution
Launch is just the beginning. We offer ongoing support, maintenance, and iterative improvements to ensure your product evolves with your business.
Maintenance Packages
Monthly retainers for bug fixes, security patches, dependency updates, and minor enhancements.
Feature Development
Continued sprints to add new capabilities as your product roadmap evolves.
Knowledge Transfer
Comprehensive handoff to your internal team with documentation, training, and pairing sessions.
We're Here for the Long Haul
Most of our clients continue working with us for years after initial launch. We become an extension of your team.
