Highload Solutions

Accepting new projects · EU & US time-zone overlap

Software that holds at peak load.

Highload Solutions designs, builds and operates high-load systems: internal HR, CRM and document platforms, real-time services, web and mobile products, and the automation that runs your business. We deliver turnkey or extend your team with senior engineers.

/Engineering standard

We design for the traffic you will have, and prove it before launch.

Every system starts with a load profile and latency budget. Capacity is modelled on paper, verified with load tests, and watched in production with the same numbers.

3×peak

Load-test target before any production release: three times the expected peak traffic.

99.95%

Uptime SLA available for systems we operate, backed by 24/7 on-call and runbooks.

p99budget

Latency budgets are set per endpoint at the architecture stage and tracked on dashboards.

10days

Typical time to start: a dedicated engineer or a team kickoff after the brief is agreed.

/Services

From a single critical service to a full platform, built end to end.

We take ownership of the whole lifecycle: architecture, development, QA, infrastructure and support. Pick one service or combine them into a turnkey project.

Backend

APIs and services built to scale horizontally under millions of requests, with predictable latency and graceful degradation.

  • Capacity model and SLOs per service
  • Sharding, caching, queues, back-pressure

/Technology

Six languages, each chosen for the job it does best.

We do not force one stack onto every problem. Concurrency-heavy cores, lean services, interfaces and mobile clients each get the tool that fits.

Erlang/OTP for systems that must not stop.

The runtime behind telecom switches and messaging at global scale. Millions of lightweight processes, supervision trees that restart failures in microseconds, and hot code upgrades without downtime.

Where we use it

  • Workflow and approval engines
  • Messaging backbones, presence, chat
  • Real-time bidding and betting engines

/Delivery process

Six stages from brief to a system in production.

Each stage ends with something you can review and approve. No surprises at launch, because the load and failure scenarios were tested weeks earlier.

    Output: test reports, fixes

  5. 051 week

    Launch

    Canary or blue-green release, monitoring and alerting in place, runbooks written, team on call for the launch window.

    Output: production release

/Why Highload Solutions

How we work with clients.

Clear ownership, measurable quality and no lock-in. These terms are part of every contract.

You own the code

Full IP transfer, your repositories, your cloud accounts. Documentation and handover are included, not extra.

Senior by default

Architects and senior engineers lead every project. You talk to the people who write the code.

Numbers, not opinions

SLOs, load-test reports and delivery metrics are shared with you from the first sprint.

Security built in

NDA before the first call, least-privilege access, secure SDLC, and architecture that keeps your compliance scope small.

Working hours overlap

Our teams work on European time with daily overlap for US East Coast clients. English is our working language.

Transparent estimates

Every estimate is broken down by feature and role. Changes in scope are priced before they are built.

/FAQ

Questions clients ask before signing.

Something else on your mind? Send it with the form below and an engineer will answer.

How quickly can you start?

Discovery can start within a week of the first call. Dedicated engineers usually join your team in about 10 working days; a full dedicated team takes 2–4 weeks to assemble.

Do we own the source code and IP?

Yes. All code, designs and documentation are transferred to you under the contract. We work in your repositories and cloud accounts whenever possible, so there is nothing to hand over at the end.

Fixed price or time and materials?

Both. Fixed price works when the scope is clear, usually after discovery. Time and materials, or a monthly team fee, suits evolving products. Many clients start with a fixed-price discovery and then move to a dedicated team.

Can you take over an existing system?

Yes. We start with a technical audit: code, architecture, infrastructure and load behaviour. You get a written report with risks and a prioritised plan, then we stabilise the system before adding features.

How do you handle security and confidentiality?

We sign an NDA before any detailed discussion. Access to your systems is least-privilege and logged, secrets stay in your vault, and we follow secure SDLC practices including dependency scanning and code review.

Which time zones and languages do you work in?

Our engineers work on Central and Eastern European time, with daily overlap for UK, EU and US East Coast teams. All communication and documentation are in English.

Do you support the system after launch?

Yes. We offer SLA-backed support with 24/7 on-call for production incidents, plus a monthly retainer for improvements, monitoring and performance tuning.
