Soystek

Soystek Inc · Software engineering and reliability

Build your product, and keep it working.

We build software and look after the systems behind it. If you already have a product, we help with the parts that need attention: continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), cloud costs, production errors and security gaps.

Build

Software development

Need a web or mobile product built?

Web and mobile applications, plus the APIs and internal systems they depend on.

  • Business websites and redesigns, with content editing and enquiry forms

  • User journeys and optimisation
  • Prototyping and design systems

Platform

Cloud architecture & infrastructure

Will your setup hold up when traffic grows?

Set up your cloud infrastructure and plan for traffic, availability and cost.

  • Cloud setup and architecture
  • Cloud migration and cutover planning

Platform

Infrastructure management

Who looks after the servers once you launch?

Keep servers maintained, investigate slowdowns and deal with operational problems.

  • Server management
  • System monitoring
  • Load testing and performance optimisation
  • Maintenance and support

Operate

Observability & reliability

Would you know if something broke tonight?

Find out when something breaks, who it affects and where to investigate.

  • Metrics, logs and tracing
  • Useful dashboards and actionable alerts
  • Service objectives and incident guidance
  • Delivery performance measurement

Operate

Cloud security

Who can reach your cloud account, and would you notice if they did?

Lock down access, secrets and network exposure in your cloud account, then keep it that way.

  • Identity and least-privilege access reviews
  • Secrets and key management
  • Network exposure, firewall rules and private networking
  • Misconfiguration and posture scanning
  • Audit logging and security alerts

Operate

Security & DevSecOps

Where could someone get in, and what would they reach?

Review risks in your architecture and build security checks into everyday delivery.

  • Threat modelling and trust boundaries
  • Code, dependency and container scanning
  • Remediation planning and delivery checks

Four common starting points. If yours is different, pick the closest and tell us more.

Build a new product

Suits Founders and teams with an idea or a validated plan, but no product yet.

What you typically get

  • Discovery and a written scope
  • UI and UX design
  • A web or mobile app with its API and integrations
  • Deployment, documentation and handover

Next step Tell us what you want to build and who it is for.

Improve an existing system

Suits Teams with a live product that is slow, unreliable, hard to change or expensive to run.

What you typically get

  • A review of the problem area
  • Agreed fixes, features or a migration plan
  • Changes delivered in milestones
  • Notes on what changed and why

Next step Share what is happening and what you have already tried.

Review architecture, infrastructure or security

Suits Teams preparing to scale, raise money or answer a customer security questionnaire who want an outside view.

What you typically get

  • Written findings ranked by risk and effort
  • A recommended plan
  • A walkthrough with your team

Next step Tell us what you want reviewed and why now.

Get ongoing engineering support

Suits Teams without in-house DevOps, or who need extra engineering capacity after launch.

What you typically get

  • Agreed monitoring and maintenance
  • Fixes and improvements in planned batches
  • Scope set per month or per piece of work

Next step Describe your setup and the support you need.

Recent work, from the problem to the result.

Stately VIP logo
Travel and mobility

Stately VIP

Problem
Production ran on six separately managed servers, so releases and recovery depended on manual steps.
What we did
Moved production onto a shared managed Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean. Releases now go through Argo CD with pinned image versions, and the database stays on a private network link to the cluster.
Result
Production now runs on the cluster, and six servers and a load balancer were retired.

Conversational commerce

Sendam

Problem
Everything ran on one server, including scheduled jobs that send appointment reminders. Running a second copy would have sent customers duplicate reminders.
What we did
Added a leader lock so each scheduled job runs once even with several workers, split the API from background workers, and moved PostgreSQL and Valkey next to the cluster with an online migration.
Result
The API now runs as two copies on separate machines, and the database migration took about nine minutes.

Dashboards from our own products. A payments app and a messaging app break in different ways, so each one watches different signals.

Shared infrastructure

What needs attention across the platform?

The stages of a typical project. Select one to see what it involves and the tools we use.

Idea and discovery

Problem framing, user and domain research, and technical feasibility. On larger projects this is a short paid phase that produces the written scope.

A note from Soystek

We care about what happens after the release.

Soystek

Most of our time goes into what happens after launch: deployments, alerts, incidents and cloud bills. The dashboards above come from that work.

We run products of our own, so we know what it is like to be on call for one. That is the experience we bring to yours.

A proposal built around your project

Tell us what you want to build or improve. We’ll clarify the requirements and provide a proposal covering deliverables, timeline, responsibilities and fees before implementation begins.

  1. Initial conversation
  2. Discovery, if needed
  3. Written proposal
  4. Agreement
  5. Delivery in milestones
  6. Handover and optional support

Book an introductory call

Online booking is not available yet. Email us a few times that suit you and we will confirm a call.

Can you take over an existing project?

Yes. We start by reviewing the code, infrastructure and access you have today, then agree what to fix or build first. If the review shows a part should be rebuilt rather than repaired, we explain why before you decide.

How are scope and timing agreed?

In a written proposal before work starts. It covers deliverables, milestones, responsibilities and fees for your project, so nothing is assumed from a price list.

What happens when requirements change?

We talk through the change, explain how it affects the timeline and fees, and update the agreement in writing before doing the extra work.

How are accounts, source code and documentation handed over?

The proposal lists exactly what you receive. We aim to keep source code in your repositories and services in accounts you own, with documentation for running and changing the system.

What support is available after launch?

Support is optional and agreed separately. It can cover monitoring, fixes and further development, with the terms set out in your proposal or a support agreement.

Which third-party costs are separate?

Hosting, domains, app store accounts, paid APIs and other subscriptions are billed by those providers, ideally to accounts in your name. The proposal estimates them where possible.
