Standards

How we hold ourselves accountable

We would rather show you the standards we work to than display badges. These are the practices applied on every engagement — auditable, and open to review before you sign anything.

Our engineering standards

Security practices

Encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access, secrets kept out of source control, and dependency scanning in CI. Security review is part of the definition of done, not a pre-launch afterthought.

  • TLS everywhere, encrypted data at rest
  • Role-based access and audited credentials
  • Automated dependency and secret scanning

Code quality standards

Every change goes through peer review and an automated gate. We keep test coverage on business-critical paths and treat static analysis failures as build failures, so quality does not depend on who is on call.

  • Mandatory peer review before merge
  • Automated tests and static analysis in CI
  • Trunk-based delivery with reversible releases

Cloud and DevOps

Infrastructure defined as code, reproducible environments, and observability wired in from day one. Deployments are automated and rollback is a routine operation rather than an incident.

  • Infrastructure as code, versioned with the app
  • Containerized builds, automated deployment
  • Logging, metrics, and alerting from launch

Delivery and handover

You own what we build. Architecture decisions, runbooks, and environment setup are documented as we go, so your team can operate and extend the system without depending on us.

  • Written architecture and decision records
  • Runbooks and environment documentation
  • Knowledge transfer sessions before handover
