Services
Engineering work we take from zero to production
Honesty Software is a build partner, not a slide shop. Below is how we categorize engagements. If your problem spans multiple buckets, we scope it as one system with clear boundaries.
Core delivery
Backend & APIs
Rust services (Axum), PostgreSQL, migrations, background jobs, webhooks, and third-party integrations. Designed for testability and observable failure modes.
Web applications
Server-rendered and hybrid UIs, authenticated client areas, admin consoles, and role-based access. Security choices documented, not implied.
Real-time systems
Live updates, messaging patterns, and collaborative interfaces where connection state and ordering cannot be hand-waved.
Data & reporting
Schema design, ETL-shaped pipelines, exports, and internal reporting, especially where finance or operations need reconcilable numbers.
Security, identity, and compliance-minded builds
Authentication & authorization
Sessions, OAuth, SSO-shaped flows, MFA hooks, and least-privilege roles: implemented as code, not configuration folklore.
Encryption & data handling
TLS, encryption at rest where appropriate, key handling patterns, and clear data-retention boundaries.
Audit & operations
Structured logging, admin audit trails, and deployment practices that support review, not “move fast and hide logs.”
Product domains
We have shipped social, streaming-shaped, commerce, and communication products. The common thread is disciplined architecture, not a checklist of buzzwords.
Commerce & payments
Stripe integrations, subscriptions, carts, operator tools, and reconciliation-friendly transaction modeling.
Communication products
In-app messaging, notifications, email infrastructure (we operate our own mail stack for suitable deployments), and SMS-shaped workflows where required.
Content & community surfaces
Feeds, profiles, moderation tooling, and UGC patterns with explicit performance and abuse considerations.
Platform & delivery
Deployment & operations
Linux targets, repeatable builds, environment configuration, and monitoring hooks appropriate to your uptime requirements.
WebAssembly where it earns its place
WASM for performance- or security-sensitive browser work when it reduces attack surface or moves validated compute client-side, not WASM for novelty.
Tell us what you are building
We will respond with questions, a suggested technical approach, and when it makes sense, a path to a written proposal.
