Three things, done well.
We're more useful when we're honest about scope. Below is the full menu — Build, Operate, Migrate & Automate — and at the bottom, the things we don't do.
Three things, done well.
We're more useful when we're honest about scope. Below is the full menu — Build, Operate, Migrate & Automate.
We design, build, and ship.
End-to-end. Specialty: Ruby on Rails. Surrounding stack: Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus), Tailwind, Postgres, TypeScript where it earns its keep. Java and Node where existing systems require it. Small commits, continuous deploys, feature flags for safety, code review for taste.
Sidekiq / Solid Queue, Redis, TypeScript on Stimulus controllers where complexity earns it.
Feature flags carry the safety. Code review is for craft and architecture, not gating.
Senior engineers in San Ramon + Bengaluru. A US-based engagement lead during US business hours.
Most builds continue into managed-support engagements that run for years.
We run what's already in production.
Most of our long-term client relationships started here. Proactive monitoring, on-call, SLAs we keep, and parallel development capacity for minor features and updates. Most issues are caught before users do — because that's how the monitoring is configured, not because we're promising it.
Both routes feed the same queue. Each incident closes with a root-cause note.
Traces, metrics, and structured logs aligned to the application's actual failure modes — not bolted on after.
Minor features and updates shipped alongside support work.
Time-to-acknowledge and time-to-resolution committed at engagement start.
We move applications, then automate how they live.
Cloud migrations to AWS and Azure. Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, Ansible, Packer. CI/CD pipelines that hold up under load and engineering turnover. We've operated cloud deployments for clients for eight years and counting.
EC2, ECS, RDS, Lambda, S3, CloudFront. IAM. Long history of production operation.
VMs, Container Apps, Azure SQL. For customers whose ecosystem requires it.
Reusable modules. Bonterra runs on these.
Heroku-style simplicity for apps that don't need full cloud sprawl.
How we work, in detail.
A shared understanding of goals, scope, cost, and roles. Estimates we can defend.
Collaborative workshops to elicit requirements in detail. Concept proof-outs where the approach is novel. Documented common understanding.
Iterative cycles, functional demos every two weeks, user acceptance testing in lockstep with development. A delivery phase focused on quality and adaptable to change.
Automated monitoring to catch issues before users do. Regular updates for application integrity and security. Usage analytics that inform what to build next.
Automated tests are required, not aspirational. Code review on every change. Continuous delivery, with semantic versioning. Engineers own their work end-to-end — from talking to stakeholders through to production rollout.
Four things we're not the right call for.
Honesty about scope makes the rest more useful. If your work falls in one of these, we'll happily refer you somewhere better.
We bring teams, not seats. If you need 8 engineers tomorrow with no context, we're not the right shop.
We collaborate well with designers. We don't replace them.
We've shipped mobile inside larger systems. A pure mobile-first agency we are not.
We engage where we can stay and operate. Quick-hit advice isn't our shape.
Talk to us. We reply within one US business day, usually with the questions we'd need answered to scope the engagement.
