Digicon Lakes

Engineering services, scoped in writing.

Four disciplines, one standard: senior engineers, a plan you can hold us to, and a handover that leaves your team in control.

Service 01

Technical Advisory & Architecture

An honest read on the system you have and the one you need. We review the architecture, the data model, and the delivery process, then hand you a prioritised plan with effort and risk attached.

Outcome · A plan your engineering team and your board both understand.

What it includes

  • Architecture and system design review
  • Scalability, latency, and cost modelling
  • Technical due diligence for investors and boards
  • Build-vs-buy and platform selection
  • Written findings with a prioritised remediation plan
Service 02

Product & Platform Engineering

Design and build of the services, data flows, and internal platforms your product depends on — shipped with the tests, documentation, and runbooks that keep them alive after launch.

Outcome · Working software your team can own, extend, and operate.

What it includes

  • Service and API design
  • Data pipelines and integration layers
  • Internal developer platforms and tooling
  • Migrations and legacy decomposition
  • AI/LLM features where they earn their cost
Service 03

Execution Support

Senior engineers, fractional CTOs, and embedded teams that plug into your delivery and move work across the line. Useful when the roadmap is clear and the capacity is not.

Outcome · Momentum restored, without a permanent headcount decision.

What it includes

  • Embedded senior engineers inside your team
  • Fractional CTO and technical leadership
  • Delivery rescue for slipping programmes
  • Code review, standards, and mentoring
  • Short-cycle delivery with weekly demos
Service 04

Cloud & Reliability Engineering

Infrastructure that behaves under load and under audit. We harden deployments, cut waste, and make failure modes boring and well understood before they matter.

Outcome · Fewer incidents, cheaper infrastructure, calmer releases.

What it includes

  • CI/CD and release engineering
  • Observability, alerting, and incident readiness
  • Cloud cost and performance optimisation
  • Infrastructure as code and environment parity
  • Security hardening and access review
Engagement models

Three ways to work with us.

If a two-week review is enough to unblock you, we will say so rather than stretch the scope.

2–4 weeks

Fixed-scope review

A defined assessment with a written deliverable and a flat fee. The fastest way to find out where you actually stand.

Monthly

Embedded engineering

Senior engineers inside your team, priced per engineer per month with a clear notice period and no lock-in beyond it.

1–3 quarters

Programme delivery

We own a slice of the roadmap end to end — scope, build, release, and handover — against agreed acceptance criteria.

Not sure which one you need?

Describe the system and the constraint. We will tell you which engagement actually fits — including when the answer is the smallest one.

No pitch decks. A working session with the engineers who would do the work.
