// 02 — method

From brief to deploy

Four stages, one working build at the end

  1. 1

    Discovery & Scoping

    We map your requirements, technical constraints and business goals into a clear project specification with effort estimates.

  2. 2

    Architecture & Design

    Our architects define the technology stack, data model and system design. UX wireframes are validated with stakeholders before a single line is written.

  3. 3

    Agile Development

    Two-week sprints with a working demo every cycle. You see progress, review real code and redirect priorities at any point.

  4. 4

    Launch & Handover

    Production deployment, performance baseline, documentation and a structured handover — or we stay on as your dedicated support team.

// 03 — proof

Shipped & measured

Production results, not slideware

We measure success in production metrics, not slide decks. Here are six recent engagements and what they delivered.

// 04 — who we are

A senior team

An engineering team that owns the outcome

Founded in Kyiv in 2015, Code Forgetful started with a clear mandate: no offshore staffing theatre, no junior-heavy bait-and-switch. Every project is led by an architect with at least eight years of production experience and staffed with engineers who have shipped real products under real pressure.

We have built software for logistics companies, fintech startups, retail chains and public-sector organisations. Our work runs in production for clients in Ukraine, Poland, Germany and the United Kingdom.

// 06 — principles

Why Code Forgetful

Engineering values that show up in the code

01

Senior-led teams

Every engagement is led by an architect with 8+ years of production experience. No junior-heavy bait-and-switch.

02

Security by design

OWASP standards, regular dependency audits and automated security scanning are part of every sprint, not an afterthought.

03

Full transparency

You have direct access to our project board, code repository and test reports. No black-box development, ever.

04

On-time delivery

We break projects into fixed-scope milestones so scope creep is caught early and deadlines are real commitments.

05

Tested before it ships

Automated unit, integration and end-to-end suites run on every commit, so the code you sign off is the code that holds up in production.

06

Your code, your keys

You own every repository, design file and credential from day one. We build with zero lock-in, so you are never trapped with a single vendor.

// 07 — standards

Partners & certifications

Backed by recognised standards and alliances

Our memberships and certifications are not wall decorations — they define the standards we are held to and the ecosystems we have real influence in.

From founders & CTOs

What our clients say after go-live

"Code Forgetful rebuilt our order management platform in four months. The code quality is the best I've seen from an external team — clean, well-documented and fully tested."

Olena V. — CTO, e-commerce company, Kyiv

"They integrated our 1C ERP with our WMS and e-commerce site in eight weeks. Zero data loss, zero downtime on go-live. Genuinely impressive."

Mykhailo S. — Operations Director, logistics firm, Kharkiv

"The mobile app they built for us has a 4.8-star rating on both stores after six months. Their UX suggestions during scoping made the final product far better than our original brief."

A stack chosen for your product's lifetime, not the hype cycle

We do not chase every new framework. We pick proven, well-supported technology that your future team can hire for and maintain — then we document every architectural decision so nothing lives only in someone's head.

  • Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue, TypeScript
  • Backend: Node.js, Go, Python, Java
  • Data: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka
  • Cloud: AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform

FAQ

Answers to questions we hear every week

Q1

How do you estimate project cost and timeline?

After a free discovery call, we produce a detailed specification and a fixed-scope estimate broken into milestones. You only commit to the next milestone at a time — so the financial risk is limited and priorities can shift as the product evolves.

Q2

Do you work with early-stage startups as well as large companies?

Yes. About a third of our engagements are with founders building their first product. We have a lean MVP track designed to get a testable version in front of users within six to ten weeks, at a budget that suits the pre-revenue stage.

Q3

What technologies do you specialise in?

Our primary stack is React / Node.js on the frontend and backend, with Python and Java for data-heavy or enterprise work. PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Redis for storage; AWS or GCP for hosting. We pick what is right for your product's lifetime, not the hype cycle.

Q4

Can I see the code and project progress in real time?

Yes, always. You are added to the project's Git repository, Jira board and testing environment from day one. Our project manager gives a written status update every Friday, and we hold a sprint review call every two weeks.

Q5

Do you provide support after the project launches?

We offer three support tiers: a lightweight monthly retainer for bug fixes, a managed plan with SLA-backed response times, and a dedicated maintenance team for complex systems. See our Support page for full details.

Q6

Is my intellectual property protected?

Yes. Our contract assigns full ownership of all code, designs and documentation to you upon final payment. We sign an NDA before any project discussion, and our engineers are bound by strict confidentiality obligations under Ukrainian employment law.
