Demo to Done Guarantee
Your prototype goes from "works on my laptop" to "handles 10,000 real users" in 90 days — or we keep building until it does.
We took a Node.js gateway for DigitalAlign that was collapsing at 18K RPS — rebuilt in Go: 12ms P99, single instance, 83% cost reduction, on-call alerts dropped to zero. We took Lunagen from zero to MVP-ready in under 60 days — full technical ownership, handed back fully documented. Seven engagements total. We have never had to invoke this guarantee.
The Full Offer Stack
- → Free architecture review: we look at your prototype and tell you exactly what needs rebuilding vs. what stays
- → "Production-ready" defined in writing on Day 1: load targets, latency SLAs, uptime requirements
- → Minimum rewrite principle: we fix what's broken, not everything. Prior work isn't wasted.
- → Fixed price, fixed scope. No "we discovered more than expected" invoices.
- → Every week: working, deployed code. You can click it.
- → Load tested at target traffic before handover
- → Full documentation + runbook at handover
- → 30-day post-launch support included
Pricing & Investment
Depending on prototype complexity and target scale. Prototypes with clean architecture that just need hardening are at the lower end. Full rebuilds are at the upper end. We tell you which category you're in on the architecture review call — for free.
→ Hiring two engineers to rebuild it properly costs $250–350K/year combined, takes 6–12 months, and still has no guarantee.
→ Your existing team spending 6 months firefighting instead of shipping features costs you in runway and momentum.
→ We cost less than one engineer for one quarter — and we guarantee the outcome.
What Happens If We Fail
If your system doesn't pass the production readiness criteria agreed on Day 1 — load test, latency benchmark, uptime requirement — you don't pay the final milestone. We keep building until it passes.
What We Build
Production Architecture Review
We audit your current system for failure modes, bottlenecks, and technical debt. You get a written report with specific fixes ranked by impact.
Scalability Planning
Database sharding, caching layers, horizontal scaling strategies, and load testing. Your prototype works for 10 users — we make it work for 10,000.
Infrastructure Setup
Kubernetes clusters, Terraform-managed cloud resources, VPC design, and secrets management. Infrastructure that doesn't keep you up at night.
CI/CD Pipelines
Automated testing, staging environments, blue-green deployments, and rollback strategies. Ship with confidence, revert in seconds.
Monitoring & Alerting
Real-time dashboards, structured logging, distributed tracing, and alerting that catches real problems without waking you up for noise.
Performance Optimization
Query optimization, connection pooling, CDN configuration, bundle splitting, and edge caching. Every millisecond counts.
Who This Is For
- → Technical founders who built a working prototype and need production infrastructure before launch
- → CTOs at seed-to-Series A startups where stability and uptime are becoming existential risks
- → Engineering teams with a functional MVP that needs architecture hardening before customer commitments
- → Non-technical founders with a prototype and funding, needing full technical ownership to get to market
How It Works
Technical Audit (Week 1)
We baseline your current system: codebase review, infrastructure audit, failure modes, cost analysis, and performance benchmarks. You get a written roadmap with specific targets and a timeline.
Build (Weeks 2–8)
We own the architecture and implementation end-to-end. Weekly check-ins with visible progress. Every decision is documented — no black boxes, no surprises.
Handover + Runbook
You get production infrastructure with complete documentation, runbooks, monitoring dashboards, and a trained team that knows how to operate it. On-call is yours from day one.
FAQ
What's your minimum engagement size?
Our engagements typically start at $30,000. We work best with startups that have a working prototype and need serious production infrastructure to handle real traffic.
How long does MVP-to-production take?
Typically 8–12 weeks depending on scope. We begin with a technical audit, then build production infrastructure iteratively. Most clients are production-ready within 8 weeks.
Can you take over an existing codebase?
Yes. We've rescued dozens of prototypes that hit production walls. The technical audit identifies what to keep, what to rewrite, and what to throw out. No ego — we ship what works.
What happens after handover?
We provide full runbooks, monitoring dashboards, and train your team. You can also engage us for ongoing infrastructure support or opt for a retainer for continuous improvements.
Do you work with non-technical founders?
Yes. We take full technical ownership during the engagement and hand over a documented, runnable system your team can operate. We speak in business outcomes, not just architecture diagrams.
