The right time to move from monolith to modular
Early microservices, late modularity: both have a price.

PRODUCT STUDIO — ISTANBUL
Products,not projects.
Nuckflare is a small software product studio based in Istanbul. We build our own products across web, mobile and AI.

WHAT WE DO
02
Where wespend our time.
We build all of our products end-to-end with our own team, from design to infrastructure. Most of our time goes into these six areas.
01
Web Applications
Fast-loading, search-friendly interfaces built with Next.js and React that don't slow down as they grow.
02
Mobile Applications
Native performance for iOS and Android from a single codebase — we run the store process ourselves too.
03
Backend & API
Services that hold up under load, clear API contracts, real-time data flow and reporting.
04
Artificial Intelligence
We embed LLMs, RAG and automation inside our products. Not demos — features that work in daily use.
05
Cloud & DevOps
AWS infrastructure, automated deploy pipelines, monitoring and alerting, and cloud costs kept in check.
06
Design Systems
One interface language across products: a code-ready component library and consistent motion rules.

- ACTIVE REPOS
Nuckflare started in 2019, when we realised the tools we were writing for ourselves were useful to other people too. Since then we've worked as a small, senior core team; we carry few products at a time and can account for every architectural decision in the ones we do carry.
Design, engineering and AI aren't separate departments here — they're parts of the same table. Every system we ship is built to stand two years later, not just on release day, and we don't abandon a product halfway.

OUR APPROACH
04
From ideato launch.
Every stage ends with something tangible, and we only move on if that thing actually works.
Idea
We get clear on the problem we want to solve and whose pain it removes. If the answer isn't clear, no code gets written.
1 WEEK
Prototype
We shape the flows and interface language into a clickable prototype. The idea gets tested on screen before any big presentation.
1–2 WEEKS
Build
Working software in a weekly rhythm. At the end of every week there's a real, usable build.
2–6 WEEKS
Test
Automated tests plus performance and accessibility audits. Every critical flow is verified before release.
1 WEEK
Release
We go live with infrastructure, monitoring and the deploy pipeline in place. Ready for day-one traffic.
1 DAY
Maintain
Metric tracking, iteration and the new-feature loop. The product is live; the real work starts now.
