Technology chosen for the long term.
We pick tools with long support life and an active hiring market, so your system stays maintainable long after we hand it over.
the stack
We select technology your people can hire for and maintain. Our own preferences do not come into the decision.
We assess how long a tool will remain supported before recommending it, so you are not forced into an unplanned migration.
A project can absorb one unfamiliar technology safely. Everything else stays proven, which is how delivery timelines hold.
We avoid provider-specific services and lock-in, so moving to another platform later remains a decision rather than a rebuild.
What we build with, and why.
We standardise on React with TypeScript because it is the easiest stack for a client to hire into after handover. We use Vue where a team already runs it, since retraining would cost you without gaining anything.
The choice here follows your existing systems more than our preference. Node.js suits products where the same team handles both ends. Java and .NET are the right answer where you already run them, or where the integrations you need are built for them.
Most business applications do not need separate iOS and Android codebases. We recommend React Native or Flutter unless the app depends on hardware features or performance that only native code delivers.
We work across all three major providers and on private infrastructure. The decision usually comes down to what your team already knows, where your data is required to sit, and which provider your existing licensing favours.
Infrastructure is defined in code so environments can be rebuilt rather than repaired. We only introduce Kubernetes where the workload genuinely calls for it, since it adds operational overhead most teams do not need.
PostgreSQL handles the majority of what businesses need, including workloads people assume require something specialised. We add Redis for caching and Elasticsearch for search where the data volume justifies it.
& security
Partnerships that serve a purpose.
Partnerships matter for two reasons only: a support escalation path when something breaks, and licensing we can pass through at our cost rather than at list price.
How we handle security
Named accounts, no shared credentials, and time-bound production access with a full audit trail.
Managed secret stores for each environment, with commits scanned before they are merged.
Automated checks run in the pipeline, with a regular patch window for environments we manage.
Workloads deployed in the region your requirements call for, including backups and log retention.
Inherited a system nobody wants to touch?
We review existing systems and set out what is worth keeping, what needs replacing, and what can be left alone for now.
