Backends built for the swell.
Senior Go and cloud engineers who re-engineer the systems fast-growing companies run on, so the next traffic spike is a non-event.
We work from Zandvoort, on the Dutch coast. A senior team: no account managers, no handoffs, the engineer you meet is the one who builds it.
Systems built for the next order of magnitude, then documented and handed over so your own team can run them.
Your system is telling you something.
→ We've fixed every one of these, at scales most teams never reach.
Systems that carry real load.
All case studies →Bring us the problem, not the tech stack.
We profile before we touch anything, then fix the hot path: fewer allocations, fewer network hops, caching where it pays. Latency budgets per endpoint, checked in CI.
Stateless services, back-pressure, and queues where the spikes land. Load-tested to the next order of magnitude before it arrives.
Right-sizing, caching, and moving steady workloads to cheaper capacity. You get a cost-per-request number and a plan to bend it.
We extract one seam at a time, with the old system running alongside until the new one has proven itself in production.
Architecture first, then a thin slice running in production, then scale. Documented so your team owns it from day one.
How we work.
- 01Call
30 minutes with an engineer. No sales deck.
- 02Audit
We map your system and rank what breaks first.
- 03Build
Senior engineers ship in your repo, in small reviewed steps.
- 04Hand-over
Docs, runbooks and diagrams. Your team owns it.
You talk to the people who do the work.
Questions engineers ask us.
How much does it cost?
Every engagement starts with a Scale Audit: €4,350 excl. VAT, a fixed 5 senior engineer-days, credited against the build if you go ahead. Larger platforms get a fixed quote in engineer-days before we start. Builds are scoped from the audit, so you see the estimate before you commit.
Where are you based?
Zandvoort, on the Dutch coast, half an hour from Amsterdam. We work remotely and come on-site when it helps.
Can you work with our team?
That is the default. We work in your repos and your review process, pair with your engineers, and leave them owning the system.
Do you only do Go?
Go is our core for anything on the hot path. We also work in Kotlin and Java, and across Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka and the major clouds.
How fast can you start?
A Scale Audit usually starts within a week of the first call.
Will we be locked in?
No. Everything lives in your repos and your cloud accounts, with docs, runbooks and diagrams. A clean hand-over is part of every build.
