We Build Software. It Is Not a Side Business.

The same engineers who wrote KamoCRM's forty backend services, run its Kubernetes cluster and keep its mail, phone and video working will build yours. Ask for the architecture diagram in the first call — there is one.

Most firms selling application development have never operated what they shipped. They deliver a repository, invoice, and leave. The first production incident is the client's problem, and it arrives about six weeks later when a certificate expires or a queue backs up. Operating your own software for years changes how you write it, and there is no shortcut to learning that.

We run a production Kubernetes cluster carrying our own platform: a hundred-odd deployments, our own mail servers, our own telephone switches, our own WebRTC media servers, our own inference and vector search. Every one of those is something most development shops would call an integration and hand to a vendor. We built and operate them, which is why we can tell you in the first conversation which parts of your idea are hard and which parts only look hard.

That also means we will talk you out of things. A large share of what gets sold as custom software is a configuration problem wearing a budget. If your requirement is met by something that already exists, the honest answer is worth more to you than the invoice, and we would rather have the next project than this one.

What usually happens, and what we do instead.
The usual arrangementHow we work
Hands over a repository and a final invoiceOperates what we ship, or hands it over with the runbook that operates it
Calls every third-party service an integrationHas written the mail, telephony, video and inference layers ourselves
Estimates in story points that driftQuotes a fixed number after discovery, and tells you what would change it
Staffs your project with whoever is on the benchIs a small team that ships to production weekly; you meet everyone
Owns the hosting so you cannot leaveWrites the exit into the contract and documents the migration

What you actually get

  • A written scope and a fixed price before any money moves
  • Source code in your repository from the first commit, under your licence
  • Infrastructure as code — the cluster manifests, not a screenshot of a console
  • Monitoring, alerting and log aggregation wired up before launch, not after the first outage
  • A runbook written for whoever operates it next, including us leaving
  • Load and failure testing against the numbers you actually expect

Best for

Businesses whose requirement is genuinely specific — an integration nobody sells, a workflow no product models, a system that has to keep running

Not for

Anyone who would be better served by configuring something that already exists. We will tell you if that is you.

A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether we are the right people. If we are not, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
