The problem we were hired to solve
The team had validated their product on a Bubble.io no-code build, but enterprise prospects were rejecting demos citing 'performance concerns' — code for: the platform felt unserious. With a Series A pitch cycle starting in 12 weeks, they needed a platform that could handle concurrent enterprise users, pass technical due diligence, and demonstrate engineering credibility to their target investors.
How we delivered it
01
Technical Requirements Audit
Reviewed the existing Bubble architecture, identified the core feature set that needed to survive migration, and mapped enterprise prospect feedback to specific platform requirements.
02
Architecture Design
Designed a React + Node.js architecture with PostgreSQL, edge caching, and API-first design that could grow with the business post-funding.
03
10-Week Sprint Build
Full-stack development in 10 weeks — feature parity with the no-code build plus enterprise SSO, audit logging, and role-based access control.
04
Performance Engineering
Sub-400ms TTFB achieved through edge deployment, aggressive caching strategy, and React Server Components for the dashboard-heavy interface.
05
Investor Demo Prep
Prepared a high-availability demo environment for investor presentations with load testing to handle 50 concurrent enterprise user simulations.

Brief to live
