FAQ
Asked first, every time.
Don't see yours here? Send us the question — a principal engineer will reply within 24 hours.
No problem. While you own the code, you can retain us on a Managed Services contract. We will handle hosting, maintenance, and future feature development for you.
Yes. By enforcing strict linting, modern design patterns, and comprehensive documentation, the codebase is designed to be easily onboarded by any competent software engineer.
No. We rely entirely on enterprise-grade, open-source libraries (e.g., React, Node, PostgreSQL). You will never have to pay a license fee to use the core technologies we implement.
We use Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CloudFormation). We provide you with the scripts, meaning you can spin up or tear down identical environments in minutes.
