Get rid of technical headaches so you can focus on the big picture
Let us take care of the software development burdens. With the right people and processes, digital product delivery is enjoyable and effective.
How we make CTOs' life easier?
If you've reached this page, you might face challenges that plague your team or product. For more than 14 years, we've been helping dozens of tech executives similar to you solve product problems they couldn't or wouldn’t handle on their own. Working hand-in-hand with CTOs is our bread and butter. See how we can guide you to your desired destination.
Want to give your product a well-rounded team capable of addressing a variety of technical challenges? At Vazco, our T-shaped engineers possess the versatility to adapt to any project situation and proactively suggest the best solutions. By ensuring the right combination of skills, experience, and expertise, we can help your product set sail into the open waters.
In the fast-paced IT industry, it’s crucial to balance driving innovation with maintaining existing systems. To ensure that both aspects receive adequate attention and resources, we can assist you in striking this perfect balance between advancing your product and maintaining its stability.
As a CTO, you want to ensure that your product can handle increased traffic through an effective and efficient scaling process. Technology underpinning and team augmentation are potential solutions. If this challenge sounds familiar, partner with top-class engineers who can handle the end-to-end scaling process for you.
Ensuring the timely delivery of an MVP within a reasonable budget is a critical challenge for many tech executives. To streamline processes, coordinate different project sides, and set realistic expectations, you need the right people around you. Our vast experience with early-stage clients can provide valuable insights into who to work with.
In order to run a successful product, the technology must be aligned with overall business objectives. Our development teams take full ownership of the process and are accountable for the partnership's results. Work with people who can suggest the best solutions to your stakeholders and who can execute the technology strategy that your product needs.
This problem arises when short-term solutions are implemented at the expense of long-term stability and scalability. Continually addressing technical debt is essential to keep your systems up-to-date, efficient, and secure. Our consultants can alleviate this burden and suggest the best solutions to make your app more resilient.
As the key driver of user experience and product success, it’s vital to maintain peak performance. To achieve increased customer satisfaction, higher retention rates, and improved brand reputation, our engineers can polish up your application’s performance. From keeping infrastructure with scalability in mind, through optimizing code and data management, to implementing best practices, we’re on it.
DevOps, while not the most entertaining aspect of software development, is still essential and needs to be conducted thoroughly. Our consultants can streamline your product development and guide you through proper cloud adoption. After considering your cost, performance, compatibility, and security requirements, we'll suggest the best cloud solution fitted to your product with further support.
Assuring quality throughout the entire journey
To build a successful product, quality must be provided at each step of the process. To ensure that both you and us have an agreed understanding of quality, we described areas we care about from the very beginning to the "life after deployment".
Static code analysis from day 0
Reducing the feedback loop and avoiding errors with automated software that guards us against making human mistakes is vital. Tools like ESLint, Prettier, or TypeScript ensure that code follows the best practices before it's even pushed for code review. Our ESLint config with changes voting system provides insight into how we approach such matters.
Explicit interfaces for both business and technical people
While TypeScript is a very technical tool, we can leverage it to materialize our design even before we jump into the implementation; the same goes for GraphQL schemas or JSON API specification. Such a toolset will help materialize design before implementation, spotting potential problems early.
Product Consulting for any-size companies
Different companies face different challenges, but they have one thing in common - they want to solve their problems immediately. Often, the answer in this situation is proper consulting. Flexible enough to cover the needs of both startups and enterprises and streamlined to provide a crystal-clear overview for the clients. Find out below what problems can audits & consulting take off your head.
Preparing to go big
Expecting 10 times higher traffic shortly or estimating a significant traffic peak and still need to figure out what to do? Our team can provide you with the best suggestions on how to prepare your architecture for all possible scenarios.
Advisory with open source and off-the-shelf solutions
Sometimes, you might have your goal on the horizon, but you don't have the internal capabilities to develop needed functionalities on your own. To shorten your time to market, open-source & off the shelf solutions can have one of the best time-to-price ratios. Our experience shows that such solutions could help accelerate MVP launch or reach the financing stage. Everything is about choosing the right service/product.
Work-focus on the right things
Your product has its own priorities; sometimes, your own priorities can mean something very different. This is the point where the team's effort and the desired goal may diverge. To let your product thrive properly, we're always open to suggesting ways to minimize possible development waste. As a result, every milestone sprint or even a task brings you closer to the expected accomplishment.
Technical Product Evaluation
Have a defined and well-documented product idea but still unsure if it holds water? Our team is here to help you realistically assess the situation through preparing a Proof of Concept. We will verify if your plans versus goals & budgeting strategy is correct, and conduct a market evaluation. If necessary, we will suggest you the best possible optimization paths, and advise on the direction your product should take.
Pillars of our tech delivery
To work with someone effectively, you must be sure that you and the other side are a match. There is no difference in our tech industry. Sometimes there is no "best approach" - only different ones aligned to someone's work style. See below what makes Vazco's very own work approach. Are we a match?
Not every application using cloud services is "Cloud Native." The idea is not just to "host it in the cloud," but to use these hundreds of cloud providers’ services to build the whole product, literally like piecing it together out of LEGO. For example, we choose a managed base instead of purchasing space on a server and hosting a base there.
Whether it's a new or an old project, sprinkling TypeScript over it can help get rid of the silly mistakes people make. Adapt it to your project and get instant feedback about the most common issues right in your editor. Our consultants can advise you on how to use this industry-standard most efficiently.
Our tech leads share their experience every week and seek help from other technology experts if needed. This allows us to handle all types of problems even if you have contact with just one Tech Lead on a daily basis. Choose amongst various T-Shaped developers, from accessibility to performance experts.
Starting simply with automating tedious tasks with some scripts, through automating the build process (CI/CD) and automated feature branch preview deployments to allow the best testing and PoC delivery.
Not only CI/CD – developers try and tend to automate everything. Sometimes it results in a business feature, e.g., an automated feature branch preview.
We can handle every aspect of the software delivery, but we work in a modular fashion. Have an internal design team or need only a part of the services at the beginning? We're fine with that. Looking for something that isn't available within our team? We are one of the main ITCorner partners, where we have a cluster of proven, well-versed companies with vast experience in a wide variety of tech specializations.
Starting from planning and designing, going through backend and frontend, finishing it with DevOps and testing… There are many definitions of the real full stack engineer, but we aim to stay truly versatile. The goal is not to be an expert in everything but to be a valuable person in a discussion.
Our developers have experience with all of the significant cloud computing services like AWS, Azure, and GCP. We also use Docker to be able to deploy to any cloud provider or even old-style, bare metal hosting
We constantly monitor the latest tech news & rumors to adopt the most useful ones in our projects. It's valuable for both sides - the development team has a clear overview of possible solutions, and you have increased product future-proofness. With us, you'll never start with a technical debt.
There are cases where it seems that one repository is not enough – whether it’s a new technology in the stack or a new team working on something separate. We prove it wrong and leverage monorepo to optimize the CI/CD process, simplify releases, and make life easier for developers.
Our teams not only read stories but write them and look much further than the backlog goes.
A goal-oriented team is not limited to plowing through the tickets; after taking deep dive into the project, we’ll be a solid companion to bounce off your ideas as well as come up with our own.
A general tendency for automation leads to shortened everything - including onboarding time. At Vazco, newcomers use the existing tools/scripts instead of figuring things out by themselves. Streamlining peer reviews, regular pair programming sessions, and a mentoring system makes onboarding a breeze – people are getting integrated both into the project and the company at the same time which is beneficial for both the service provider and the client.

Harrison Hunter
CTO at MaestroQA
We’re very impressed with Vazco's work pace, communication, and quality. At first, we didn't prepare a sufficiently extensive backlog for the team, as we were not expecting the development pace to be so fast!
''
Bill Kwon
VP of IT & DT at CallisonRTKL
Vazco's professional help met the app and business goals. Collaborators reduced the time spend onboarding a new vendor and handling the update process of data and vendor communication. This encouraged the number of vendors who updated data and documents on a regular basis.
