Software, designed as a system.

Parkstory is a software studio for teams that need more than extra hands on keyboards. We design the architecture, build the product, and hand over a system your own engineers can run.

client → edge → services → data Every layer is ours to design. Pick one.

What we take on

Whole systems or a single layer. Every engagement starts with the architecture, even when the brief is “just build the app”.

System design & architecture

Domain model, service boundaries, data design, an architecture document and decision records you keep. Before a line of production code.

C4 diagrams · ADRs · OpenAPI

Product engineering

Web apps, mobile apps and the backends behind them, built in short cycles with a working demo at the end of each one.

TypeScript · React · Next.js · Kotlin · Swift · Go

Platform & infrastructure

Cloud setup, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, logging and alerts. Boring, repeatable deploys from day one.

AWS · GCP · Terraform · Docker · Kubernetes

Modernisation & rescue

Taking over an existing codebase: an honest audit first, then a staged plan to stabilise, test and migrate without a big-bang rewrite.

Audits · test harnesses · strangler migrations

Data & integrations

Payment providers, ERPs, third-party APIs, event pipelines and the reporting that sits on top of them.

PostgreSQL · Redis · Kafka · webhooks

How a project ships

One main branch, no surprises. You see working software early and often, and you own every commit.

  1. discovery

    Map the problem

    Workshops with your team, a look at what already exists, and a written scope with risks named up front.

  2. architecture

    Design the system

    Diagrams, data model, API contracts and the trade-offs behind them. You approve it before we build on it.

  3. build/*

    Build in cycles

    Short iterations, each ending in a demo on a real environment. Priorities can change between cycles.

  4. release

    Launch

    Load checks, security review, monitoring wired in, and a rollback plan rehearsed before go-live.

  5. handover

    Hand it over

    Docs, runbooks and pairing sessions with your engineers, or an ongoing support plan with us.

Three ways to work with us

Fixed-scope project

best when the goal is clear and the deadline is real.

Agreed scope, milestones and price after discovery. Changes go through a short, written change process.

Dedicated team

best when the roadmap keeps moving.

A stable squad of engineers and a tech lead working inside your rhythm, billed monthly.

Architecture review

best when you have a team but want a second opinion.

A focused review of your system, with a written report and a prioritised list of what to fix first.

Questions we hear first

Who owns the code?

You do. Repositories live in your organisation from the first commit, and the code, designs and documents are yours.

Can you take over an existing codebase?

Yes. We start with a short audit so you know what you have, then propose a plan. We avoid full rewrites unless the audit says it’s truly cheaper.

How do you price work?

After a free intro call and a paid discovery phase, you get either a fixed quote for a defined scope or a monthly rate for a dedicated team.

How will we stay in touch during the build?

A shared channel, a weekly written update, and a live demo at the end of every cycle. You can see the board and the repository at any time.

Tell us what you’re building.

A few lines are enough. We reply with questions, not a sales deck.
