What we do

Services

Flushlight provides remote software development and engineering for business clients. Each engagement is founder-led, scoped in writing and delivered as a fixed-scope project or an ongoing monthly retainer.

Custom web applications

We build web applications shaped around your operations, not around a template. That includes internal tools, client portals, dashboards and customer-facing products. The result is software your team can rely on daily.

What you get

  • A written scope and agreed feature set before work begins
  • A responsive, accessible interface that works across modern browsers
  • Clean, typed source code in a repository you own
  • Deployment to your chosen environment
  • Handover documentation for your team

Backend and API engineering

We design and build backend services and APIs in Node.js and TypeScript, backed by PostgreSQL. The focus is on correct data models, predictable behavior and clear interfaces. We also integrate third-party services such as payment providers, email and shipping APIs.

What you get

  • A documented API with consistent conventions
  • A PostgreSQL schema designed for your data and how it grows
  • Authentication, authorization and input validation
  • Automated tests for critical paths
  • Logging and error reporting suited to production

SaaS product development

We help businesses turn an idea or an internal tool into a working software product. We cover the parts every SaaS needs, including accounts, roles, subscription billing and administration. We build the first version to be useful on its own and sound enough to grow.

What you get

  • Product scoping focused on a usable first release
  • Multi-tenant architecture with user and role management
  • Subscription billing and account administration
  • An admin area for operating the product
  • A clear path for the next phase of development

E-commerce and marketplace platforms

We build storefronts, merchant tools and multi-vendor marketplaces. We pay close attention to the details that matter in commerce, such as inventory, orders, payments and fulfillment. These systems are built to stay dependable when order volume rises.

What you get

  • Product catalog, cart and checkout flows
  • Order, inventory and fulfillment management
  • Payment and shipping provider integrations
  • Merchant or vendor dashboards for multi-seller platforms
  • Reporting on the figures your business tracks

Cloud deployment and DevOps

We set up and manage the infrastructure your software runs on, using Cloudflare, Vercel and AWS. That includes environments, automated deployments, domains and monitoring. The goal is releases that are routine and infrastructure that is easy to reason about.

What you get

  • Separate development, staging and production environments
  • Automated build and deployment pipelines
  • DNS, SSL and domain configuration
  • Backups, monitoring and alerting
  • Written runbooks for common operations

Maintenance and support retainers

Software needs ongoing care after launch. A monthly retainer covers updates, fixes and small improvements on a predictable schedule. It applies to software we built and, after a review, to existing systems built by others.

What you get

  • A defined monthly allocation of engineering time
  • Dependency and security updates
  • Bug fixes and small feature work
  • Monitoring of uptime and errors
  • A regular summary of work completed

Engagement and billing

We work on fixed-scope projects and monthly retainers. Pricing is agreed in writing before work begins. Invoices are payable by ACH or wire transfer.
