Tools We Trust
In Production

Our most-used backend framework. Eloquent ORM, Queues, Events, Policies, Sanctum/Passport for auth — Laravel lets us build complex business logic fast while keeping the codebase readable for the team that inherits it.

• REST API backends for web and mobile
• Complex background job processing
• Admin panels and internal tooling

When an API needs to handle thousands of concurrent requests or a background worker needs to process large data batches without memory bloat, we reach for Go. Static typing catches bugs at compile time; goroutines make concurrency straightforward.

• High-throughput API microservices
• Background data processing workers
• CLI tooling and automation scripts

Modern PHP (8.2+) with named arguments, enums, fibers, and typed properties is a very different language from the PHP of 2012. We use it as the foundation beneath Laravel and for standalone scripts where a full framework would be overkill.

• Laravel foundation and Artisan commands
• Data import / ETL scripts
• Legacy system migration tooling

Our primary mobile framework. Dart compiles to native ARM code, which means Flutter apps are genuinely fast — not web-in-a-wrapper. The widget model makes complex UI easy to build and test in isolation.

• Offline-first field operations apps
• Barcode scanning and GPS integrations
• Cross-platform iOS + Android from one build

Used when clients have an existing React/JavaScript codebase and want to share logic between web and mobile. Expo's managed workflow handles the native build layer, which keeps delivery cycles shorter for React-native teams.

• Companion apps for existing React web platforms
• Quick-to-market MVPs with Expo Go
• Push-notification and deep-link integrations

Our default relational database. JSONB columns when we need document flexibility, window functions and CTEs for complex reporting queries, and row-level security where multi-tenancy demands it. We treat the schema as first-class code.

• Primary data store for all production apps
• Full-text search with pg_trgm
• Partitioned tables for high-volume audit logs

Used in every project that has a queue, a cache, or a session. Laravel's queue drivers and cache store integrate with Redis out of the box. We also use Pub/Sub for real-time features like live dashboard updates.

• Queue driver for background job processing
• API response caching layer
• Real-time pub/sub for live dashboards

Used on legacy system modernisation projects where the existing data lives in MySQL and migration to PostgreSQL isn't in scope. We're equally comfortable optimising slow queries, designing indexes, and managing migrations in either dialect.

• Legacy system migrations
• Existing WordPress / CMS backends

The embedded database powering offline-first mobile apps. Flutter's sqflite package gives us a full relational store on the device — data is captured even underground with no connectivity, then synced when the device reconnects.

• Offline local storage in Flutter apps
• Sync queue for background API uploads

Every project runs in containers from day one. Docker Compose for local development, multi-stage builds to keep production images lean, and Compose-based deployment for straightforward projects where Kubernetes would be overkill.

• Local dev environment parity
• Staging and production deployment
• CI pipeline build artefacts

Our CI/CD platform. On every push to main: tests run, Docker images build, migrations apply, and the deploy fires — all in a single YAML file the client owns. Every client gets a pipeline that requires no vendor account beyond GitHub.

• Automated test suite on every PR
• Zero-downtime rolling deploys
• App Store build & upload for mobile

Cloud-agnostic infrastructure. Hetzner for price-efficient European deployments, DigitalOcean for simplicity, AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront) when the project scope or compliance requirement demands it. We provision with Terraform when reproducibility matters.

• VPS and managed database hosting
• Object storage (S3-compatible)
• CDN for static assets and images

Used on every JavaScript project — no exceptions. Type inference catches integration bugs before they reach the browser. With Nuxt and Next both supporting TypeScript natively, we get compile-time safety across the full stack at zero runtime cost.

• All Nuxt, Next, React, and Vue projects
• API client generation from OpenAPI specs
• Shared types between frontend and backend

The language Flutter is written in. Sound null safety and strong typing make Dart more predictable than JavaScript for mobile development. The AOT compiler produces native binaries — not interpreted code — which matters for performance-sensitive field apps.

• All Flutter mobile projects
• Platform channel code for native device APIs
