Capability / Full stack

Full-stack engineering, from architecture to release.

Products built from a blank page, existing systems extended, and the APIs, integrations, infrastructure and pipelines that keep both of them running.

Coverage

What the discipline covers.

The same team that designs the data model deploys the thing. Architecture decisions that nobody has to operate tend to be the expensive ones.

01

Product builds

Architecture, data model, interface and first release. A working system rather than a prototype that has to be built again properly.

  • Architecture
  • Data model
  • Release

02

APIs and services

Internal and public APIs, versioned and documented, with the contract agreed before the code rather than inferred from it afterwards.

  • REST
  • GraphQL
  • Contracts

03

Integrations

Third-party services driven from inside your product, with retries, idempotency and failure states an operations team can act on.

  • Third-party APIs
  • Queues
  • Failure handling

04

Cloud infrastructure

Environments, networking, storage and secrets defined as code, so the next environment is a command rather than somebody remembering.

  • AWS
  • Infrastructure as code
  • Environments

05

DevOps and release

Build pipelines, automated checks, staged deployment and the monitoring that tells you a release went wrong before a user does.

  • CI
  • Deployment
  • Monitoring

06

Modernisation

Systems already in production taken forward: platform and dependency upgrades, restructuring, and paying down what blocks the roadmap.

  • Upgrades
  • Refactoring
  • Migration

Depth

The kinds of full-stack work we take on.

From a first release to the unglamorous work of keeping a live product current.

Types of full-stack work and how each is engaged
Type of workWhat it involvesHow it is engaged
A product from nothingArchitecture, data model, build and first release, held by one accountable team rather than split across suppliers.Project delivery or managed pod
Capacity on a running productEngineers into your backlog, your standards and your definition of done, without a discovery phase first.Dedicated people
An integration layerThird-party services, credentials, rate limits and reporting absorbed by the platform so operators work in one place.Project delivery
Infrastructure and pipelinesEnvironments as code, continuous integration, staged deployment and monitoring, handed over documented.Project delivery or dedicated people
Keeping it runningDependency upgrades, incident response and the steady stream of small changes a live product generates.Dedicated people, business as usual

Technology and people

What we work with, and who does the work.

Where you already have a stack, we staff to it. Where the choice is open, we pick what your team can maintain after we hand it over.

Front end

  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Design systems
  • Accessibility to WCAG AA

Back end

  • Node.js
  • Python
  • REST and GraphQL APIs
  • PostgreSQL and MySQL

Infrastructure

  • AWS
  • Docker
  • Infrastructure as code
  • Object storage and CDN

Delivery

  • Git-based workflow
  • Continuous integration
  • Automated test suites
  • Monitoring and alerting

Roles and seniority available

Inside your team

How the work runs inside your process.

We do not ask a client to adopt our way of running delivery. The engineers work the way your team already works.

Your repository, your review

Engineers work in your repositories under your branching model. Nothing merges outside the review gates your own team works to.

  • Your branching and release model
  • Pull requests reviewed by your engineers
  • Your tracker, not ours

Your definition of done

We adopt the standard you already hold your own engineers to, whatever it includes: tests, documentation, accessibility, performance budgets.

  • Agreed in writing before the first sprint
  • Applied from the first commit
  • Checked at review, not at release

Progress you can see

Work is tracked where your team tracks it, demonstrated in the ceremonies you already run, and reported at your cadence.

  • Daily standup in your timezone
  • Demonstrations against real environments
  • Reporting you can forward internally

Proof

Products built end to end and put into use.

We describe the work, not the client.

What it evidences

Whole products, not workstreams

  • Platforms taken from architecture through the integration layer to release under single-supplier accountability
  • A regulated manufacturing system with lifecycle definition, order execution, approvals and audit logging in one place
  • A two-sided marketplace with a transactional ordering flow and a fulfilment workflow behind it
  • Third-party services absorbed by the platform so operators work in one interface

Product build / Marketing and advertising technology

Full-stack campaign platform built for a United States marketing company, with advertisement generation engines built in house

A campaign platform that runs United States marketing campaigns from one portal and generates image and video advertisements through engines we built and own.

Our own product / Food delivery and online marketplaces

CurryDash: our curry-first ordering and delivery marketplace

CurryDash was our own food ordering and delivery marketplace for local curry shops, built around dish-level customisation rather than a fixed menu.
