Frequently Asked Questions
What is Development as a Service?
Development as a Service is a productized software delivery model where you get a dedicated engineering team on a monthly retainer. Instead of hourly billing or project-based quotes, Development as a Service provides predictable monthly costs, weekly deliverables, and flexible scaling. Think of it as your own engineering team, without the overhead of hiring.
How is Development as a Service different from hiring a software agency?
Traditional agencies bill by the hour or project, which creates uncertainty around scope and cost. Development as a Service provides a fixed monthly retainer with clear deliverables each week. You get direct access to senior engineers, not account managers. The team integrates into your workflow and ships code weekly, not quarterly.
