Hire Us Senior full-stack engineers. One predictable price.
Stop guessing what it costs to build, run, and maintain your product.
Hourly billing forces everyone to predict the future — scoping, estimating, re-estimating — instead of building. We replaced it with one monthly price that covers everything. New features, bug fixes, security, automated deployments. Adapt as you go. Your cost never changes.

Hourly billing wasn't built for how software actually works
Software development is unpredictable by nature. Hourly billing tries to force it into neat estimates, but the time spent scoping and re-estimating is time not spent building. There's a better way.
The hourly model
Budgets built on guesses that rarely match reality Significant time spent estimating instead of building Security, updates, and maintenance fall through the cracks Changing priorities means re-scoping, re-quoting, and delays A false sense of control that gets more unpredictable over time Working with us
One fixed monthly price — know exactly what you're spending Time goes to building, not estimating and re-scoping Security, dependencies, and maintenance handled proactively Reprioritize anytime without penalty or re-quoting Agile and adaptive — built for how software really evolves Simple, predictable pricing

What we build
Every project is different, but here's what we do best.
Laravel applications
New apps from scratch or rescuing what's broken. APIs, queues, migrations, deployment. We handle the full backend.
Docker & CI/CD pipelines
Docker containers, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI. We automate your entire pipeline from local development to production.
UI/UX design & implementation
We design in Figma and build it ourselves. No handoff between designer and developer means nothing gets lost in translation.
iOS & Android apps
One codebase for web, iOS, and Android using CapacitorJS. Your product on every platform without duplicating effort.
Custom AI integrations
Real AI solutions wired into your application by engineers who understand your stack. Not chatbot wrappers.
Servers & infrastructure
Server setup, database design, backups, and zero-downtime deployments. Self-hosted stacks that don't depend on big cloud providers.
Your entire engineering team, in two seats
We co-founded Server Side Up in 2011. Bootstrapped from day one. No outside funding, no bloated team. Just two people who know every layer of the stack because we've built every layer of the stack.
Dan Pastori
Full-stack Engineer · 16+ years
Dan builds Laravel applications, APIs, and full-stack architecture. Backend logic, database design, or a complete application from scratch — Dan builds it.
Jay Rogers
UX Designer & DevOps Engineer · 20+ years
Jay designs interfaces in Figma and implements them himself. He also builds Docker infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and manages servers so your app stays running.
GitHub Honest communication, fully documented
You get direct access to the engineers building your product. No layers, no gatekeepers, no sugar-coating.
Talk directly to us
Every update, question, and decision happens on the actual issue. You work with us directly — not a project manager relaying messages.
Every decision documented
Communication lives on GitHub or GitLab issues. Nothing gets lost in Slack threads or forgotten after a call. Full history, always accessible.
We'll tell you what you need to hear
If something isn't the right approach, we'll say so. If a feature needs more thought before building, we'll flag it. Your investment deserves honest guidance, not just order-taking.
