Kedrilo Forge builds fast, reliable web applications, content platforms and backend infrastructure for teams that need technology to keep working when traffic, data and requirements grow.
Kedrilo Forge is a focused engineering partner for teams that need their web platform to perform under real load, evolve with real requirements and survive real deadlines.
We are not a staffing agency, a design studio or an outsourcing farm. We are a small team of senior full-stack engineers who work directly with product owners, CTOs and internal platform teams. No account managers, no handoffs, no lost context.
Every engagement is led by the people writing the code. Architecture decisions, code reviews and deployment pipelines are owned by us from day one, and shipped with the same discipline we would apply to our own products.
We started Kedrilo Forge because too many teams were paying agency rates to get junior output wrapped in senior slide decks. We wanted to build the opposite: a small firm where the people selling the work are the same people shipping it.
No black boxes, no surprise invoices. Every engagement follows the same disciplined pipeline — you always know what is happening, what ships next and what it costs.
We dig into your codebase, infrastructure and business goals. You get a technical assessment, not a sales pitch.
Data models, API contracts, infra diagrams. We lock the scope and the price before a single line of code is written.
Weekly production deploys, shared kanban, direct Slack channel with the engineers. You see progress in the browser, not in slides.
CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, alerting and runbooks. We hand over a system your team can own — or stay on as operators.
We made deliberate trade-offs: smaller team, higher standards, fewer clients. Here is what that means for you.
No juniors learning on your budget. Every engineer has 6+ years in production systems. The person scoping your project writes the code.
We quote after architecture, not before. The number on the contract is the number on the invoice. No hourly surprises.
No account managers, no translators. You share a Slack channel with the people committing code to your repository.
CI/CD, monitoring, structured logging and alerting ship in sprint one. Not as a "phase two" that never comes.
We design data models, API contracts and infra topology before UI. The result: systems that scale without rewrites.
Clean code, full docs, runbooks and knowledge transfer. No lock-in, no hostage codebases. Your team can take over anytime.
Each engagement is quoted after architecture review. The price you see is the price on the contract — no hourly surprises, no scope creep, no hidden fees.
Development of RESTful APIs, GraphQL gateways, and asynchronous back-end microservices in Go and Python, deployed via Docker containers on AWS ECS and Kubernetes.
Bespoke web applications engineered with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Node.js featuring server-side rendering, micro-frontend architecture, and optimized state management.
Custom implementations of Strapi, Sanity, and Payload CMS integrated with decoupled front-ends, custom GraphQL endpoints, and real-time content synchronization.
Core Web Vitals remediation, edge caching strategies via Cloudflare Workers, automated CI/CD pipeline configuration, and serverless infrastructure scaling.
Every metric below comes from a live system we built and operate. No mockups, no vanity numbers — just monitored production data.
Monolithic storefront rebuilt as a headless Next.js platform with edge caching and a Strapi content layer.
Legacy monolith decomposed into 12 Go microservices behind a GraphQL gateway, deployed on AWS ECS with full observability.
WordPress estate migrated to Payload CMS with decoupled front-ends, real-time preview and a 3-week editor training program.
Kedrilo Forge rebuilt our storefront in nine weeks. Traffic doubled, LCP went from four seconds to one, and our team finally owns the codebase. Best engineering money we have spent.
They scoped it, priced it, shipped it. No drama, no surprise invoices. The API gateway they built handles 25k requests a minute and hasn't paged us once.
Our editors went from fighting the CMS to publishing in minutes. The headless migration paid for itself in the first quarter.
Senior people only. Every call was with the engineers writing the code. That alone was worth the contract.
We ran three agencies before Kedrilo. They were the first partner who came back with questions about our data model instead of a mood board. The storefront they shipped scores 98 on Lighthouse and hasn't missed a peak-season minute.
Fixed price, weekly deploys, and a Slack channel full of engineers — not account managers. Our operations team took over the system after launch without a single paid handover session.
The architecture documentation alone was worth the invoice. Our internal team now ships new features on top of their platform without ever touching our stack.
Send us a brief overview and we'll come back with a technical assessment, an honest feasibility opinion and a fixed-scope quote — not a sales deck.
Honest answers. No sales scripts. If your question isn't here, send it in the brief and we'll answer within 24 hours.
We quote a fixed price after architecture review, never before. This means the number on the contract is the number on the invoice — no hourly surprises, no scope creep fees.
If scope changes mid-project, we pause, re-scope formally and issue a new fixed quote. You always approve the new price in writing before any extra work starts.
Most engagements run 4–12 weeks from kickoff to production launch. Small performance audits can wrap in 2–3 weeks. Full replatforms with microservices and CMS typically take 10–16 weeks.
You see working software from week one — we ship to staging every Friday and demo live features, not slides.
The same senior engineers who scoped it. Every team member has 6+ years in production systems. No juniors learning on your budget, no account managers translating between you and the code.
You share a Slack channel with the people committing to your repository and join weekly calls directly with them.
Our core stack is deliberately boring on purpose:
We pick the right tool for the job, not the trendiest one.
100%, from day one. We work directly in your repository (or spin up one you own) — you have full access to every commit from the moment we start.
When the engagement ends, you get complete documentation, runbooks and a knowledge transfer session. No lock-in, no hostage codebases, no recurring license fees.
Yes. After launch you can choose between:
Most clients start with a 3-month retainer and transition to internal ownership once their team is comfortable.
You get a shared Slack channel with the engineers, a shared Kanban board and a weekly 30-minute demo call. Daily async updates in Slack keep everyone aligned without meeting overload.
For critical decisions we jump on a quick call. You never wait more than 24 hours for a response during working days.
They always do — and that's fine. When a meaningful change comes up, we:
Nothing ships without your written sign-off. Small tweaks (under half a day) are absorbed into the sprint without extra billing.
