Frequently asked questions

How long does a custom software project take?
A focused MVP typically takes 6–12 weeks from discovery to first production release. More complex platforms or legacy migrations depend on scope — Alken provides a realistic timeline estimate after the initial discovery session.
Do you work with existing codebases or greenfield only?
Both. Alken frequently inherits existing codebases — auditing technical debt, refactoring critical modules and introducing testing infrastructure before adding new features. Greenfield projects follow an architecture-first approach.
What technologies does Alken use?
Node.js, TypeScript, React and Astro on the frontend; REST and GraphQL APIs on the backend; Docker and CI/CD pipelines for deployment. Technology choices are always driven by what fits the project, not personal preference.
How is the project managed and communicated?
Short iteration cycles (1–2 weeks), async written updates and periodic video calls. A shared task board gives clients full visibility at all times. No black boxes.
What happens after launch?
Every project includes a post-launch stabilisation period. Alken offers optional ongoing support contracts for maintenance, monitoring and feature iterations.
