What ships with every web app

Six things that aren't negotiable — they're how we know the app is ready for real users.

<100ms API responses

We design for p95 latency from day one — caching, query plans, edge regions. Speed isn't a feature; it's the baseline.

MVP in 6 weeks

Auth, dashboard, core flow, and a working API — usable by real customers in a month and a half, not six.

Auth + roles built in

Email, OAuth, SSO, RBAC. Your app ships with the access model your customers expect from a real product.

Real database, real data

Postgres with proper migrations, backups, and indexes — not a spreadsheet pretending to be a backend.

API for everything

Public REST or GraphQL endpoints, webhooks, and SDK stubs — your integrations team isn't blocked on us.

You own the stack

Source, infra accounts, domains, secrets. We hand over keys at launch — no platform lock-in.

What's included

Everything a real product needs

Eight things every modern web app ships with — every project, every tier.

Dashboards & data visualizations

Tables, filters, charts, exports. Real ones — sortable, paginated, fast on a million rows.

Auth & permissions

Email, OAuth, SSO, MFA. Role-based access, audit logs, session management.

REST + GraphQL API

Public endpoints, schema-first design, autogenerated docs and SDKs.

Webhooks

Signed events, retries, replays. Your integrations team will thank you.

Integrations

Stripe, Slack, OAuth providers, CRM/ERP. Plumb anything that has an API.

Real-time updates

Websockets, server-sent events, live cursors — when refresh-and-pray doesn't cut it.

Admin panel

A real back-office for your ops team — not a barely-disguised Airtable.

Background jobs

Queues, schedulers, retries. The work that happens after the user hits submit.

API layer

The API is part of the product

REST, GraphQL, webhooks — whichever your customers need. Documented, versioned, monitored.

REST

REST endpoints

OpenAPI-spec'd, versioned routes with consistent error responses and pagination.

GET/v1/orders
POST/v1/orders
PATCH/v1/orders/:id
DELETE/v1/orders/:id
GraphQL

GraphQL schema

Strongly-typed schema, one round-trip, no over-fetching. Codegen for your frontend.

query GetOrder {
order(id: "ord_8x2k") {
id
total
status
customer { name, email }
}
}
Webhooks

Webhooks & events

Signed payloads, automatic retries, replay-from-dashboard. Your customers' integrations don't break.

How we ship a web app

Four phases, six weeks for an MVP. Real product engineering — not a sprint of cowboy commits.

01
Week 1

Scope

Two working sessions to define the data model, key flows, and API surface. Output: a spec doc you can hand to anyone.

02
Week 1-2

Design

Figma flows for the dashboard + admin. API contract in OpenAPI/GraphQL SDL. Two revision rounds.

03
Week 2-5

Build

Frontend, backend, database, API, auth, CI/CD. Daily progress on a staging URL. You ship as we ship.

04
Week 5-6

Launch

Load testing, security review, monitoring, runbooks, team handoff. Production-ready, not just "works on my machine".

Why custom

Custom web app vs. no-code platforms

No-code is great for week-one validation. For a real product, you outgrow it fast.

No-code is fine for an internal hack-week tool. For a customer-facing product, you'll eventually rebuild it. Skip the rebuild.
