What the studio builds
Six areas of work with one focus: software that keeps working as load, data and teams grow.
01 / Backend
Backend systems
APIs, services and data models designed around the load they will actually carry.
We design service boundaries, data ownership and failure modes before writing endpoints. The result is an API that stays predictable as traffic, teams and features grow.
What we deliver
- Service and API design
- Data modelling and migrations
- Authentication and sessions
- Load testing against real traffic shapes
Typical stack
- Kotlin
- TypeScript
- Rust
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
02 / Real-time
Real-time and game networks
Low-latency multiplayer infrastructure, matchmaking and cross-region play.
Multiplayer systems fail at the edges: region hops, reconnects, state that drifts between servers. We build networks that keep state consistent and players connected across regions.
What we deliver
- Matchmaking and queues
- Cross-server state and messaging
- Region-aware routing
- Replay and spectator systems
Typical stack
- Kotlin
- Java
- NATS
- Redis
- Velocity
03 / Infrastructure
Infrastructure and operations
Clusters, deploy pipelines and observability that a small team can run.
We set up infrastructure you can reason about: reproducible builds, rollouts you can undo, and dashboards that show the state of the system rather than decorate it.
What we deliver
- Kubernetes clusters and Helm charts
- Build and rollout pipelines
- Replication and failover
- Monitoring and alerting
Typical stack
- Kubernetes
- Docker
- Helm
- Tailscale
- k3s
04 / Web
Web platforms
Product sites, dashboards and admin tools built on the same system as the backend.
Interfaces that load fast, handle slow networks honestly and share types with the API behind them, so a schema change is caught at build time rather than in production.
What we deliver
- Marketing and product sites
- Dashboards and admin panels
- Design systems
- Content management
Typical stack
- Next.js
- React
- TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS
05 / Data
Data and storage
Schemas, caching and replication chosen for how the data is read and written.
We pick storage by access pattern, not fashion. That covers schema design, cache invalidation that holds up under writes, and replication across regions.
What we deliver
- Schema design and indexing
- Caching strategy
- Event streams
- Backups and recovery drills
Typical stack
- PostgreSQL
- MongoDB
- Redis
- NATS
06 / Review
Architecture reviews
An outside read of your system, with the constraints and the fixes written down.
We read the code, the infrastructure and the incident history, then write down where the system will break first and what it would take to fix it, in order of cost.
What we deliver
- Code and infrastructure audit
- Scaling risk report
- Prioritised remediation plan
- Handover session with your team
Typical stack
- Any stack
