Complex Business Platform Delivery

Platform Discovery, architecture, engineering and live operation — for systems whose business complexity demands senior technology ownership.

Let's talk about your systemWe'll reply within a few days with a concrete proposal.

What we deliver

What this looks like in practice.

We build new platforms where business logic, permissions, integrations, data security and long-term operations are first-order concerns. The engagement begins with Platform Discovery & Architecture: business processes, system boundaries, data and access model, operating requirements, delivery phases and key risks are clarified before the implementation commitment.

Platform Discovery & Architecture

Business processes, system boundaries, data and permission model, integrations, operating requirements, phased delivery plan and effort range.

Multi-tenant data model

Strict tenant isolation at the data layer (PostgreSQL RLS or separate DBs), role-based access.

Backend, web, mobile

API-first backend, well-designed web and mobile clients. Clean interfaces for long-term development.

External integrations

CRM, ERP, payment providers, identity providers. Reliable data flow with security and audit.

CI/CD, security, scalability

Automated deploys, security audits, load tests — built in from day one.

Documentation & handover

Detailed architecture documentation, ADRs, team handover workshop. Carryable on your own.

When you need this

This is where we come in.

#01

Multi-tenant SaaS

You're building a product used by multiple customers (industry platform, B2B SaaS), each running in isolation. Tenant onboarding, permissions, data separation — these are daily decisions, not one-off setup.

#02

Complex integrated backend

The system is part of a bigger ecosystem: ERP, CRM, payments, partner APIs. Data needs to flow securely and reliably between systems. A simple web build doesn't cover this.

#03

Long-term scaling platform

You're building a platform that will keep evolving for 3–5 years. What's a good decision now will pay dividends — and a bad one will hold you back for years.

A concrete example

What an engagement looks like in practice.

Anonymised, illustrative project example.

Starting point

A European logistics company built a multi-tenant SaaS for fleet management — multiple tenants, varied needs, one platform.

Weeks 1–2

Architecture

Workshop with leadership, tenant model design (PostgreSQL + row-level security), Azure architecture.

Weeks 3–6

Foundation

Base infrastructure (Azure K8s), CI/CD pipelines, auth (Auth0), tenant onboarding API, basic dashboard UI.

Weeks 7–14

Features in sprints

Fleet module, dispatch module, billing module. 3-week sprints with continuous demos to tenants.

Weeks 15+

Production & onboarding

Launch with alpha tenants, monitoring (Datadog), 24/7 on-call set up, tenant onboarding flow automated.

Outcome

New tenants are onboarded in minutes; the shared platform has been shipping new features for years.

FAQ

Common questions

How does a new platform engagement start?

With a 2–4 week Platform Discovery & Architecture engagement. Only after the system boundaries, risks, operating model and phased plan are clear do we commit to the implementation scope.

How many people work on it?

Typically 2–4 senior people, depending on scope. As founder, I'm always in an architect role on every project; the other seniors come from my network.

If we take it over with our own team later, how does that work?

Handover is built into the project from day one. Clean architecture, well-documented code, detailed ADRs, and a handover workshop. We can stay in review mode for a few months if helpful.

Do you operate it after launch?

Yes, where needed. We can provide ongoing platform care, monitoring and an agreed support model, or prepare the system for handover to your existing operations team.

What kind of new platform is not a fit?

We are not specialised in brochure websites, campaign pages, template shops or isolated small features. We are a fit when the platform has meaningful business logic, permissions, integrations, data or operating risk.

Get in touch

Let's understand the problem before we build the solution.

Tell us whether an existing business-critical system is holding you back or you are creating a new complex platform. In a 30-minute conversation we identify the right first engagement and whether we are a fit.

Best fit: multiple roles or tenants, critical integrations, sensitive data, complex business logic, long-term evolution, or direct business impact when the system is unavailable.
