The Challenge

A fintech startup needed a multi-tenant SaaS platform for invoice management. They had burned through $180K with their previous dev agency over 6 months and had nothing to show for it. They needed to launch in 30 days to meet investor milestones.

No existing codebase — starting from zero
$180K wasted with previous agency
Investor demo in 30 days — non-negotiable

The Solution

We deployed a 4-engineer squad, architected a Next.js + Node.js + PostgreSQL stack, and shipped the full MVP in 28 days. Stripe billing, role-based auth, real-time dashboards, and PDF generation — all production-ready.

“Maple54 did in 28 days what our last agency couldn't do in 6 months. The platform is rock solid and our investors are thrilled.” — M. Tate, CEO, InvoiceFlow

Engineering Principles

Five principles in every codebase we ship.

These aren't marketing taglines — they're the rules we enforce in code review. Break one, and the PR doesn't merge. Ship a hundred repos under these principles and you get software that's actually cheap to maintain.

01

Ship boring technology

We pick Postgres over trendy NoSQL, Rails or Django over custom frameworks, Next.js over the framework-of-the-month. Boring tech has been debugged by millions of engineers. Your product deserves that safety margin.

02

Small PRs, frequent merges

Our median pull request is 140 lines. Small PRs ship faster, review better, revert cleaner. Features behind flags, decomposed into days-long work — not branch-deep monsters that die in review.

03

Types at the boundary

TypeScript end-to-end, Zod or Pydantic at every API edge, database schemas as the single source of truth. Runtime bugs are expensive; compile-time bugs are free.

04

Observability is not optional

Sentry for errors, OpenTelemetry for traces, structured logs with request IDs, SLOs on every critical path. You shouldn't learn about incidents from your customers on X.

05

Tests that protect revenue

We don't chase 100% coverage. We write tests for revenue-critical paths, known-broken edge cases, and every regression we fix. Quality over quantity — always.

Our SDLC

13 weeks from contract to production.

A realistic view of how production software gets built. No “2-week MVP” vaporware. No 6-month discovery phases. Every Friday you see working, deployed software — not slides.

1

Discovery

Week 1

Stakeholder interviews, event-storming workshops, domain modeling, risk register. We leave with a one-page architecture decision record, not a 60-page spec nobody reads.

2

Design

Week 2

API contracts via OpenAPI, database ERD, auth flow diagrams, system architecture signed off. Figma designs feed directly to Storybook component specs.

3

Sprint 0

Week 3

CI/CD pipeline, preview environments per PR, Sentry + Datadog wired, one hello-world happy-path in production within 7 days of kickoff. Every sprint ships after this.

4

Build

Week 4-10

Weekly Friday demos with working software. Behind feature flags. Continuously deployable. Your team has access to the Linear board, Figma, and PR list every day.

5

Harden

Week 11-12

Load testing (k6), security review (OWASP Top 10 + dependency scan), accessibility audit, chaos testing on critical paths, runbook documentation.

6

Launch + SLA

Week 13+

Zero-downtime cutover, status page live, on-call rotation with 15-minute P0 response, 99.95% uptime SLA, 12-week warranty period for defect fixes at no charge.

Our Stack

Boring technology.
Exciting outcomes.

We've consolidated around a deliberately narrow, battle-tested stack. This is the same tool set that powers Shopify, Notion, Linear, and Vercel — not hobbyist frameworks chasing Hacker News clout.

Reliability & Compliance

Production-grade, not prototype-grade.

Your software runs your business. It deserves the same rigor as the infrastructure of companies you admire. SOC 2 aligned, human-on-call, multi-region redundancy — the table stakes of running real software in 2026.

CTO FAQ

What engineering leaders ask us first.

Do you work fixed-price or time & materials?+

Both, deliberately. Discovery + architecture is always fixed-price so you can budget. Build phases are weekly iteration-based with scope that can flex — the only way software actually gets built honestly. We never do hourly billing; it rewards slow work.

Who owns the code?+

You do. Full source ownership from commit one. We push to your GitHub/GitLab, your CI, your cloud account. No agency lock-in, no “licensed back to you” games. If you fire us tomorrow, everything works without us.

How do you handle scope changes?+

Every sprint has a planning doc you approve. New requests go through a lightweight change-request template: estimated cost, impact on current sprint, trade-off options. No surprise invoices. Ever.

Can you work with our existing engineering team?+

Yes. About 60% of our engagements are side-by-side with in-house teams. We follow your code conventions, join your Slack, use your CI. When teams overlap, we define ownership boundaries in a RACI matrix in week one.

What about AI coding agents like Claude Code and Copilot?+

We use them heavily for velocity — roughly 35-50% of boilerplate and tests are AI-accelerated. Review, architecture, and security decisions stay with senior engineers. AI writes the easy code faster; humans still write the important code.

Do you do mobile apps or just web?+

Both. React Native and Flutter for cross-platform, native Swift/Kotlin when platform APIs or performance demand it. Every mobile project includes App Store Connect + Play Console management, CI-based builds, and beta distribution via TestFlight / internal app sharing.

How do you handle security?+

SOC 2 Type II aligned processes, encrypted at rest + in transit, least-privilege IAM, secrets in HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager, dependency scanning on every PR, quarterly pen tests, and annual SOC 2 audits for qualifying engagements.

What happens after launch?+

All engagements include a 12-week warranty covering defect fixes at no charge. After that, most clients move to a retainer: ongoing feature work, 24/7 on-call, performance tuning, and quarterly architecture reviews. Zero lock-in; cancel anytime.
