Outstaffing

# Developers for your tasks - no payroll, no overhead

We plug our developers into your team when you need hands: support of live applications, improvements, new features, urgent bug-fixes. Pay only for the hours actually worked.

## Situations we help with

### Legacy project without support

The team is gone, the original developer left, but the app still runs production. You need someone to dive into the code and take over maintenance.

### In-house developers are overloaded

Your engineers are out of bandwidth for new features, and hiring for a 1–2 month gig is slow and costly. You need fast external help.

### Hiring takes months

Search, interviews, onboarding, probation - while the task is on fire today. You need a ready specialist who can start immediately.

### Rare or legacy stack

Project runs on Yii2, old PHP, a niche framework or legacy code. Finding that kind of engineer for in-house is a separate challenge.

### Uneven workload

Task flow is unpredictable - feast or famine. Keeping a full-time dev idle is wasteful, but the work still keeps coming.

## What we cover in outstaffing mode

We pick up projects at any stage - from emergency fixes to long-term support

### Support & maintenance

We take your app under maintenance: watch stability, handle incidents, update dependencies, fix bugs as they surface.

MonitoringIncidentsUpdates

### New features & improvements

We extend your current product: new modules, integrations, client areas, reports, admin panels.

ModulesClient areaAdmin panels

### Urgent bug-fixes

We pick up hot tasks: critical bugs, outages, production issues. We dig in and fix without waiting for the next release window.

### Migrations & refactoring

Move from an outdated framework, PHP/Node upgrade, DB migration, splitting a monolith into services. Step by step, without downtime.

### Project handover

We accept code from previous vendors: review it, document the architecture, list the tech debt and propose a roadmap.

### Integrations & APIs

We connect third-party services: CRM, ERP, payment gateways, messengers, analytics. We design and support REST/GraphQL APIs.

## Cooperation formats

Pick the payment and engagement model that fits your workload

01

### Hourly rate

Works when tasks show up irregularly. Hours are tracked in a tool; at the end of the month - a report and an invoice.

- Pay for actual work
- Detailed hourly report
- No minimum load

02

### Monthly hour package

Best for ongoing support. We reserve a fixed number of hours and a developer dedicated to your project.

- Guaranteed priority
- 10–20% cheaper than hourly
- Unused hours carry over

03

### Fixed scope

For a clear scope: an improvement, a migration, a standalone module. We lock budget and deadline before we start.

- Clear deliverable
- Fixed budget
- Deadlines in contract

## Client Testimonials

Feedback from clients working with our out-of-staff developers

They took over our project after the previous vendor left. In two weeks they untangled the code, fixed long-standing crashes, and now they drive the roadmap.

We needed a PHP developer for a three-month ERP module. They connected a specialist in four days and closed the task on time and on budget.

We keep a 40-hour monthly package with Folia for support and small improvements. Very convenient - we don't need to find people for each task.
