Ongoing development

Keep building the product after the migration ships.

A migration isn't the end of the work — it's the point where the product becomes something you can actually evolve. We can stay on as the team that keeps shipping: new features, fixes and improvements, on a predictable cadence, with clear ownership and a support scope you agree to up front.

Who this is for

For teams who want continuity, not a handoff cliff.

This is for teams who've had (or are planning) a migration and want the same people to keep building — rather than rebuilding institutional knowledge with a new vendor every time. It suits products that are live and changing, where you want reliable delivery without carrying a full in-house engineering team yet.

01

Operating model

We work as an extension of your team, not a black box. Work is planned in the open, tracked where you can see it, and shipped in small, reviewable increments. You set the priorities; we bring the delivery. The model flexes from a light-touch maintenance arrangement to steady feature delivery, depending on what the product needs.

02

Ownership

You own the code, the repository and the infrastructure throughout — ongoing development doesn't create lock-in. We commit into your repo as collaborators, document as we go, and keep the product in a state another team could pick up. The relationship continues because it's working, not because you're stuck.

03

Support scope

We define support explicitly so expectations are shared, not assumed:

  • What's covered — features, fixes, maintenance and dependency upkeep
  • How issues are triaged and prioritised, and who decides
  • Response expectations for routine work versus urgent breakage
  • What sits outside the engagement, so nothing is a surprise

04

Cadence

Delivery runs on a predictable rhythm — regular planning, regular shipping, and a standing line of communication so you always know what's in progress and what's next. The cadence is set to your needs rather than a fixed template, and it's visible enough that you're never guessing about status.

05

How engagements work

Engagements start small and deliberately. We scope an initial period, agree on priorities and support terms, and adjust from there as we learn the product's real demands. There's no long lock-in — the arrangement continues while it's delivering value, and you can wind it down or bring more in-house whenever that's the right move.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined path — assess, scope, build, validate, hand over. See how the process works.

Frequently asked

Ongoing development questions.

Do I have to commit to a long contract?
No. Engagements start with a scoped initial period and continue while they're delivering value. There's no long lock-in, and you can scale up, wind down, or bring work in-house as your needs change.
Can you maintain a product you didn't originally build?
Often, yes. We start by reading the codebase and agreeing a support scope. If the product is in a maintainable state we can pick it up; if it isn't, we'll be honest about what it would take to get there first.
What exactly is covered by support?
We define it explicitly up front — features, fixes, maintenance and dependency upkeep, plus how issues are triaged and what sits outside the engagement — so expectations are shared rather than assumed.
Do you replace our in-house team?
We work as an extension of it. Some teams use us as their whole engineering capacity for a while; others use us alongside in-house engineers. You keep ownership and set the priorities either way.
How is ongoing development priced?
It depends on the cadence and support scope you need. Book a review and we'll agree an operating model and a predictable arrangement that fits the product.
