Software development services for startups and SMBs
We design, build and run web, mobile, SaaS and AI software end to end. Most teams start with one of the three things we do best: AI agents that reach production, modernization before your stack falls out of support, and prototypes made production-ready.
Where Most Teams Start
The three things we do best. Each starts with a fixed-scope first step, so you get a clear deliverable before any long-term commitment.
AI Agents in Production
Agents that do real work inside the systems you already run: your app, your CRM, your documents. Built with evaluations, audit trails and cost controls, so they hold up after the pilot.
Best for: Teams with a stalled AI pilot, or a back-office workflow (documents, support, internal knowledge) that eats hours every week.
First step: Agent Pilot Sprint
- One workflow built and running on your own data
- An evaluation set that measures accuracy before launch
- Cost per task and a production rollout plan
Modernization & Upgrades
Upgrade aging Django, Python and cloud infrastructure before it falls out of support, without a risky rewrite. Tests go in first, then the upgrade, then a cutover you can roll back. Performance and cloud cost get fixed along the way.
Best for: Products on Django 4.2 or older, Python 3.10 or older, Heroku or Amazon Linux 2, or with a cloud bill and response times that keep creeping up.
First step: Upgrade Assessment
- Version, dependency and end-of-life audit
- An upgrade path with test gaps and risks called out
- A cost and speed review of your cloud bill and slowest pages
Prototype to Production
Built a prototype with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or a freelancer? We make it production-grade: security, data access rules, tests, monitoring and an architecture that can grow. Or we build the MVP properly from day one.
Best for: Founders with an AI-built or early-stage app heading into real users, a security review or investor due diligence.
First step: Production-Readiness Audit
- Security review of auth, secrets and data access rules
- Code, test and architecture review
- A fix list in priority order, and a launch plan
Everything Else We Build
We still design, build and run software end to end. These are the services and stacks behind the three above.
Services
Technology Expertise
How We Engage
The same principles run through every service, whatever you start with
Discovery First
Every engagement starts by clarifying the real problem, scope, and the smallest valuable version, before any spend grows.
Clear Ownership
Our engineers own delivery end-to-end. You get accountability for outcomes, not a queue of ticket-takers.
AI-Assisted, Human-Reviewed
We use AI for scaffolding, tests, and first-pass review. An engineer reviews every change before it merges.
You Own Everything
All source code and IP is committed to your repositories as we build, no lock-in, no handover risk.
Who We Work Best With
We are an engineering partner, not a body shop and not a no-code studio. We do our best work with:
- teams with an AI pilot that never reached production, or a workflow worth automating
- products on aging Django, Python or cloud infrastructure that need upgrading before end-of-life
- founders with a prototype or early MVP that now has to hold up with real users
- startups and SMBs that need a partner to build web, mobile or SaaS software end to end
Frequently Asked Questions
What founders and product leaders ask before choosing a software development partner.
What software development services does MicroPyramid offer?
MicroPyramid leads with three services: AI agents in production, modernization and upgrades for aging Django, Python and cloud systems, and turning prototypes and MVPs into production software. We also build custom software, web and mobile apps, SaaS products and AI features, run QA and testing, and provide dedicated development teams. Our core stack is Python, Django, FastAPI, React, SvelteKit, AWS, and Salesforce.
Do you work with startups or enterprises?
We primarily work with startups and small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), with clients across the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Singapore, the Netherlands, Germany, and the UAE. Our model (engineers who own delivery end to end, and AI-assisted engineering under human review) fits teams that need to ship real software without building a large in-house team first.
How quickly can MicroPyramid deliver?
It depends on scope, so you get a fixed estimate after discovery. We scope the smallest valuable version first and ship it in increments, so you see working software early instead of a single release months later.
How does MicroPyramid use AI in delivery?
We use AI for scaffolding, code generation, test writing, and first-pass review, and an experienced engineer reviews every change before it merges. We also build AI into client products: agents, copilots, RAG assistants, and in-app AI features.
Do we own the code and intellectual property?
Yes. You own all source code and intellectual property we produce for you. Everything is committed to your repositories as we build, so there is no lock-in and no handover risk if you later bring the work in-house.
Start With the Right First Step
An AI pilot, an aging stack, a prototype heading to real users, or something new: we will suggest the right first step.
