Technologies & tools

Content Sites. Minimal Footprint.

Zero JavaScript by default. Add it only where you need it. Astro is how we build content-driven websites that perform — marketing sites, blogs, documentation, landing pages.

Scale Without Limits.

AWS is where most of our work ends up deployed. Not because we're AWS specialists chasing certifications, but because it's where the industry landed — and knowing the platform well means fewer surprises when your application meets production.

Real-Time Without the Plumbing.

The backend that thinks like your frontend. Real-time by default, TypeScript everywhere, zero infrastructure to manage. Convex fits how we build: React and Next.js frontends that need a reactive backend.

Simple Cloud. Serious Power.

Digital Ocean hits a sweet spot: more flexible than a platform like Heroku, more approachable than hyperscalers built for enterprises. Enough power for production workloads, without the overhead that turns simple deployments into month-long projects.

Desktop Apps. Web Stack.

Desktop applications, built by your web team. Cross-platform from day one. Electron is a specialized tool — not every project needs a desktop app, and not every desktop app needs Electron. When it's the right choice, we know how to build it well.

Node.js at Full Speed.

Not every backend needs a heavyweight framework. Fastify handles APIs, microservices, and server-side applications faster than most alternatives — with performance that scales and a plugin system that doesn't fight you.

From Pixels to Product.

Design tool that developers actually open. Figma changed how we work with design — real-time collaboration, components that mirror code, handoff that doesn't require archaeology. We're a development agency that works in Figma daily.

Design That Ships.

Design fidelity at deployment speed. No handoff friction. No 'that's not what the mockup looked like.' We know Framer deeply — deep enough to work with the company that makes it.

Enterprise Cloud. Google Scale.

Enterprise cloud without enterprise complexity. Google Cloud is how we deploy applications that need to scale globally — world-class networking, managed services that actually work, and pricing that makes sense.

European Cloud. Honest Pricing.

AWS isn't always the answer. Hetzner delivers dedicated servers and cloud instances at prices that make hyperscalers look like a rounding error — German data centers, predictable bills, and performance you can budget for.

Ultralight. Edge-Ready.

Lightweight by design. Fast everywhere it runs. Hono is how we build APIs that need to run close to users — on Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge, Deno, Bun, or plain Node.js. Minimal overhead, maximum portability.

Android Done Right.

Most mobile apps don't need native development. React Native covers the requirements, ships faster, and costs less to maintain. But some apps genuinely need native — and when they do, we build them properly in Kotlin.

User Testing. Fast Answers.

Testing prototypes before writing code saves money. Testing live products reveals what analytics can't. Maze makes both fast enough to actually happen — not as a quarterly ritual, but as part of how products get built.

E-Commerce Without the Platform Tax.

Open-source e-commerce that you actually own. Headless, modular, built for developers who've outgrown Shopify. Medusa fits when you need e-commerce infrastructure without platform lock-in.

Node.js Backend Done Right.

NestJS is where we landed for server-side TypeScript. Structured, opinionated, and plays well with teams who think in React patterns. Controllers, modules, dependency injection. Concepts that transfer.

React, Ready for Production.

React got you here. Next.js gets you to production. Next.js is how we ship React applications that need to perform in the real world—where search engines matter, where first-load times affect revenue.

Headless CMS. Full Control.

A headless CMS that thinks like a developer. TypeScript-native, code-first, no black boxes. Payload fits how we already work—React frontends, TypeScript everywhere, configuration as code.

Infrastructure in Real Languages.

No DSLs. No YAML. Just code that provisions clouds. Pulumi means writing TypeScript, Python, or Go instead of learning yet another configuration syntax. Actual functions. Actual types. Actual IDE support.

From Notebooks to Production.

The language that powers data pipelines, machine learning, and backends that need to move fast. Python isn't our primary stack—React and TypeScript are. But when Python is the right tool, we build with it.

The UI Library That Won.

We're not the cheapest. We're the ones you call after cheap didn't work. React isn't something we also do. It's what we do.

One Codebase. Two Platforms.

One codebase. Two platforms. The same senior engineers who build your web applications. React Native isn't a separate team at WAYF — it's the same engineers, the same standards, the same product thinking applied to mobile.

When Performance Isn't Optional.

Performance without compromise. Memory safety without garbage collection. For the parts of your system where those properties matter. Rust isn't our primary language — but some problems require what Rust offers.

Sell First. Scale Later.

The platform that handles commerce so you can focus on the business. Sometimes the right answer is the obvious one. We also build with Medusa when clients outgrow Shopify — which means we know exactly where Shopify shines.

Smart Contracts. Serious Stakes.

Smart contracts that handle real money. Built with the caution that responsibility requires. Solidity development isn't like other software — bugs aren't fixed with patches, they're exploited for millions.

Headless CMS. Your Rules.

Open-source content management that scales. A headless CMS that gives you structure without constraints. API-first, plugin-extensible, admin panel that non-developers can actually use.

Postgres With Superpowers.

Postgres that ships with batteries. Authentication, real-time, storage — without stitching together six services. Supabase fits how we build: React and Next.js frontends that need a backend without the overhead of building everything from scratch.

iOS Apps. Native Performance.

React Native handles most mobile projects well. But iOS has corners that cross-platform can't always reach. WAYF builds native iOS when native iOS is genuinely necessary — after evaluating whether cross-platform would serve you better.

Desktop Apps Without the Memory Footprint.

Tauri solves an old problem well: how do you build a desktop application without the bloat of shipping an entire browser with every install? For teams invested in web technologies, Tauri offers a path to native desktop apps that are fast, small, and secure.

Infra That Reads Like Code.

Code that builds clouds. Version-controlled, reviewable, repeatable. Terraform is how we make infrastructure predictable — servers, databases, networks, DNS, everything described in files that go through code review like any other change.

Deploy Without the Detours.

Push to git. Site is live. That's it. Vercel is how we ship frontend applications without thinking about infrastructure. Built by the creators of Next.js, optimized for modern frameworks, global edge network included.

Python-Powered Content Management.

A CMS that gets out of the way. Django underneath, editors in control above. Wagtail is our CMS of choice when content teams need power and developers need flexibility.

Marketing Sites Without the Developer Queue.

WAYF builds Webflow sites for clients who could afford a full React build but shouldn't pay for one. Marketing sites. Landing pages. Company websites where marketing can update content without filing a ticket.

Automation Without Code.

We're not an automation consultancy. We build applications — React frontends, React Native mobile apps, NestJS backends. But applications need processes around them. Zapier is how most business workflows get connected without custom code.
