FAQ

What types of projects do you work on?We build production software for startups and growing businesses — backends, full-stack applications, and AI-integrated products. Every project ships with correct architecture, tests, CI/CD, and isolated infrastructure from day one, not as a prototype to rebuild later.
How do the agents and the human engineers fit together?Specialist agents handle the volume and the verification: writing code, checking dependencies, running tests, and producing a provenance trail. A named human engineer reviews that work, signs the merge, and owns the outcome. Nothing ships without a human name on it.
How long does a project take?Timelines depend on scope. A scoped launch is typically a few business days; larger builds take longer. We scope the deliverable in writing before we start so the estimate is grounded in the actual work.
Do you work with early-stage startups?Yes. We work with businesses at all stages, from early-stage startups to established companies scaling existing systems.
What technologies do you work with?Go and Python backends, Postgres, and a platform catalogue that includes Valkey, MinIO, NATS, OpenBao, and Grafana. We continue to support existing Node.js projects. We choose tools to fit the project rather than defaulting to what's familiar.
What infrastructure do you deploy to?Isolated Kubernetes — your own namespace, or a dedicated cluster where load or compliance requires it. GitOps deployment with the test suite as the merge gate, Postgres under CNPG with replication and backups, TLS, and Grafana observability, configured from the start.
What's your approach to project management?We plan before we build, keep the plan visible and revisable, and keep you informed as the work proceeds. The provenance trail records what changed and why.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?Yes. We offer ongoing support and maintenance. The provenance trail outlives the run, so any check can be re-run months later to catch drift after a dependency update.
How do you handle data security and privacy?Security is a constraint from the start, not a checklist at the end. Agent credentials are ephemeral and scoped, tenants are isolated by policy, the audit trail is immutable, and we map projects against the frameworks your buyer asks about — GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS.
