FAQs

How we deliver at Vasilkoff

We ship production software with small senior teams. Work typically starts with a short discovery to confirm scope, risks, and constraints, followed by the first milestone. For well-defined work we use fixed bids; for evolving products we run time-and-materials with weekly planning and transparent reporting.

Stacks and platforms

We build on Next.js/React and Node.js for the web, Flutter or native Swift/Kotlin for mobile, and WordPress where it makes sense (including headless or performance-tuned setups). Data is usually PostgreSQL or Firebase/Firestore. We deploy to Vercel, AWS, or GCP with CI/CD, environment isolation, and IaC where needed.

AI in real products

We integrate AI where it moves the needle: conversational support, internal tools, workflow automation, and retrieval-augmented knowledge. Our SmartAIChats work shows how to add GPT-powered help that actually reduces response time and increases conversion while keeping secrets safe and prompts versioned.

Web3 when it’s useful

We design and audit Solidity contracts and build full-stack DApps on EVM chains. SMRT16 demonstrates transparent on-chain revenue sharing and referral logic you can stand up quickly and operate at low cost.

Security and compliance

Least-privilege access, managed secret stores, scoped service accounts, and auditable pipelines. We separate staging and production, review dependencies, and document data flows. NDAs and DPAs on request.

Observability and SRE basics

We put simple, effective telemetry in place: uptime and error tracking, latency budgets, crash-free mobile sessions, and a small set of SLOs that map to business goals. Weekly reports show incidents, fixes, and trendlines.

Handover and support

Handover includes source code, infra access, runbooks, environment variables, deployment scripts, and a recorded walkthrough. Post-launch we offer SLA-based support or a monthly retainer for maintenance and small features.
