Cultivating Sustainable Code Gardens

Code Confab is a collaborative partner helping you architect and build products that drive revenue.

We believe business goals come first, tools and processes second. We also believe that customers are more important than the technology. We believe that getting product-market fit before building a deep product or even a robust roadmap ensures that once built, the product will generate sustainable revenue.

We collaborate with you from product strategy to execution on the back end. Our work is strategic, focused on the architecture of the product or integration rather than being project management focused.

Long Term Rails Support

If you've hired an agency to build your app eventually you'll eventually need to hand the project off to more cost effective long term caretakers. Depending on your business and application it may not make sense to hire your own team. We can keep things running smoothly while you focus on growing your business.
