Software engineering

Software built to ship, and to keep shipping.

Orathon designs, builds, and maintains web applications, mobile apps, and backend systems for growing software companies, with the production infrastructure planned alongside the code.

Software engineering services

Code and architecture review

A structured review of codebase quality, application architecture, dependencies, security practices, testing, and delivery workflow.

Problems addressed

An inherited or outsourced codebase nobody fully understands
Features take longer to ship with every release
Uncertainty about whether to refactor, rebuild, or continue

Typical work

Codebase, dependency, and architecture review
Security, testing, and performance assessment
Developer workflow and documentation review

Potential outcomes

Current-state summary
Prioritised findings and key risks
Refactor, rebuild, or continue recommendation
Phased improvement roadmap

Web application development

Design-to-production delivery of web applications, from a first release to continued feature development.

Problems addressed

A product idea needs a first production release
An existing web app needs new features delivered reliably
Internal processes run on spreadsheets and manual steps

Typical work

SaaS products, customer portals, and dashboards
Internal tools and admin panels
Accessible, responsive front ends with tested releases

Potential outcomes

A maintainable, tested web application
Predictable feature delivery
Clear documentation and handover

Mobile app development

Cross-platform mobile applications that share logic and types with your web and backend code where it helps.

Problems addressed

Customers expect a mobile app alongside the web product
Separate native apps are too costly to build and maintain
An existing app is difficult to update or release

Typical work

React Native apps for iOS and Android
Authentication, notifications, and offline behaviour
App store builds and release workflows

Potential outcomes

One codebase for both platforms
Repeatable build and release process
Consistent behaviour across web and mobile

Backend, APIs, and integrations

Backend systems and APIs designed for correctness, security, and change, including integrations with third-party platforms.

Problems addressed

A product needs a reliable API for web and mobile clients
Data moves between systems by hand
Backend logic has become hard to change safely

Typical work

REST and GraphQL APIs
Authentication, background jobs, and queues
Payment, CRM, and third-party integrations

Potential outcomes

Well-defined, documented APIs
Automated data flow between systems
A backend that is safe to extend

Modernisation and maintenance

Framework upgrades, incremental refactoring, dependency management, and ongoing feature and bug-fix delivery.

Problems addressed

Frameworks and dependencies are out of date
No developer owns the application day to day
Small changes carry unexpected risk

Typical work

Laravel, Symfony, Node.js, and React upgrades
Incremental refactoring and test coverage
Ongoing fixes, features, and dependency updates

Potential outcomes

Supported frameworks and dependencies
Growing test coverage
A steady, agreed stream of improvements

Exact coverage is agreed per engagement. Response expectations and support hours are defined in the selected agreement.

Technology

The stack we work in.

Our engineers work primarily in TypeScript and PHP: Next.js and NestJS on one side, Laravel and Symfony on the other, and React Native for mobile. We choose based on your product and team, and we work within existing codebases.
