05Technology approach

The right tools — for your context.

We work across major cloud providers and container-based deployments, choosing managed services where they reduce operational burden. Infrastructure is defined as code, so environments are reproducible.

  • Node.js
  • Python
  • PostgreSQL
  • Docker
  • AWS / GCP / Azure
  • CI/CD
Stacked technology layers representing interface, logic, data and infrastructure

06FAQ

Common questions.

Which cloud provider should we use?

It depends on your requirements, budget and data location needs. We'll compare options with you rather than default to one.

Can you take over an existing backend?

Yes. We start with a technical review, document what exists, and propose a safe improvement plan.

How do you handle security?

Security is built in from the start — least-privilege access, encrypted secrets, dependency updates and regular reviews.
