FAQ

We started working in 2017 and have built many successful projects since then. Our main specialization is blockchain: nearly 80% of all projects are connected to blockchain and cryptocurrency. The other 20% are more widely connected to fintech, marketplace, SaaS, custom e-commerce, and other projects. We work on both Web and Mobile. We also provide outstaffing services, so if you need to work with our developers, it is also possible

Currently, we have 85+ people in-house and all the specialists needed: UX/UI designers, backend and frontend developers, QA experts, DevOps professionals, project managers, and business analysts

We also have multiple prestigious awards from Clutch, TechBehemoths, DesignRush, and other big tech companies. You can read more about us here.

Yes. At Peiko, we offer both outsourcing and outstaffing services. Outstaffing allows you to directly hire and manage Peiko's experts as part of your extended team. This gives you complete control over the development process while having skilled professionals by your side.

We follow the agile development methodology. This model allows moving through a project in small steps called sprints. Sprints are short phases lasting around two weeks. At the conclusion of each sprint, the team and client review and evaluate the sprint outcomes, documenting insights to guide subsequent sprints.

The agile approach allows us to be flexible and adapt to our client's changing requirements and market tendencies. In case of any modifications, we can improve the project quickly and cost-efficiently.

We generally follow a structured development process with key stages:

• Project initiation & planning: We collaborate with you to define your project goals, target audience, and desired functionalities.
• Design & prototyping: Our skilled designers create intuitive and engaging user interfaces (UI) and user experiences (UX).
• Development & testing: Our experienced developers bring your app to life, adhering to the highest coding standards. The quality assurance specialists check your app functions flawlessly.
• Deployment & maintenance: We launch your app on the appropriate platforms and provide ongoing maintenance and support to ensure optimal performance.

The decision is entirely up to you. We offer two options for your comfort:

• Peiko-managed teams: We handle the entire project management process, including assigning tasks, conducting performance reviews, and ensuring deadlines are met. This allows you to focus on your core business while we take care of the development process.

This stack helps us to deliver robust, scalable, and innovative solutions across web, mobile, and blockchain technologies.

• Frontend: Utilizing React, TypeScript, JavaScript, Vue.js, and Next.js for robust web interfaces.
• Backend: Using Node.js and JavaScript to power scalable server-side applications.
• Mobile development: Proficiency in React Native and Flutter for versatile mobile solutions.
• Blockchain development: Expertise in blockchain frameworks such as Ethereum (Solidity), focusing on decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, and blockchain integration.
• Cloud services: Deployment on AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Azure for scalable infrastructure.
• Version control: Efficient collaboration with Git for version control.
• CI/CD: Implementing continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines, predominantly using CodePipeline and GitLab CI, with flexibility across various CI/CD tools.
• Monitoring and logging: Ensuring performance visibility with Prometheus, Grafana, AWS CloudWatch, and Elasticsearch.
• Continuous automated testing: Implementing automated testing frameworks to maintain quality and reliability.
• Infrastructure as code: Automating infrastructure management with AWS CloudFormation and AWS SDK, ensuring consistency and scalability.
• Smart contracts: Using Solidity and Rust to create robust and sustainable smart contracts in blockchain.

We specialize in comprehensive manual and automated testing services. Our testing comprises various types: unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end (E2E) tests, and load and security testing.

Our QA process is meticulously integrated into our project lifecycle from inception. Testing begins before development. QA engineers craft test cases and prepare detailed test plans covering both functional and non-functional aspects. They conduct manual and automated tests as required. Upon feature completion by developers, it undergoes rigorous QA testing, and successful completion signifies it as "done." Before app deployment, regression testing is conducted to ensure comprehensive quality assurance.

After each sprint, we compile a comprehensive test report based on the agreed test scenarios, which is incorporated into the sprint delivery report. This report includes detailed information about the test cases outlined in the test plan.

Our QA engineer conducts manual testing during the development phase. At the end of every sprint, you will receive the sprint delivery report detailing the testing outcomes. Additionally, one of our Project Managers will arrange a meeting with you to review and discuss the sprint results.

Regarding information security, we have meticulously designed our infrastructure according to the project’s requirements to avoid potential data breaches.

• All hardware includes antivirus software reporting to a central console.
• Software firewalls are configured for essential network traffic and services.
• Hardware is clearly labeled as company property.
• Regular access list reviews remove unnecessary permissions.
• As AWS-certified partners, we adhere to best security practices.
• Quarterly staff training enhances security awareness.
• We document and protect hardware and software assets.
• Offsite backups are regularly maintained for critical data.

It's okay. We can work with the already finished part of the project. By the way, we often do this with such requests. We'll test the existing code, use quality parts, and recommend improvements. But sometimes, changing anything in your project is unnecessary—we can work entirely with the client's code.

Also, we recommend considering the Time and Material collaboration model in this case.

Under the Time and Material contract, the development process unfolds as follows: We deliver a demo, conduct thorough testing, and provide the client with checklists and sprint reports. Clients review the documentation and offer their feedback, which we incorporate into planning for the subsequent sprint. If change requests occur during the current sprint, they are scheduled for implementation in the following sprint.

At the start of our collaboration, we provide a detailed breakdown of estimated costs associated with each project phase. The following factors influence the cost: project scope and its complexity and the development team you need.

Typically, the expense of crafting a thorough MVP solution encompassing backend, frontend, QA, project management, and DevOps begins at $30,000. For simpler initial prototypes, clients typically budget between $10,000 and $12,000. Moreover, we provide independent design services at $2,000 in pricing.

Unfortunately, no. We receive several such offers per week, but we can't currently accept this type of cooperation.

We accept a variety of popular payment methods, including ACH transfers, wire transfers, and credit/debit cards.

We prioritize the security of your project and take all essential measures. Upon your request, we promptly execute a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), ensuring strict confidentiality of your project's ideas and details.

Throughout our workflow, only our team members who have signed rigorous NDAs can access information about your project.
