DevSecOps
Can you help me host my site and/or application?
This is one of Hatchery's strengths. We have AWS (Amazon Web Services) experts to help you with your planning, network, security, monitoring and much more.
General
Do you outsource development to countries such as India, Argentina or Costa Rica?
No.
Does Hatchery provide UI/UX services?
Absolutely. Hatchery is actively working on strengthening our product design talent. We highly recommend all projects begin with a product design specialist. The work can inform future development decisions and even be used to assist in wedding investors. By doing the upfront work, you will reduce your costs in the longhaul and you will end up with a better product.
I have an idea but how do I start? I have never done this before...
Start by contacting Hatchery. We will discuss your idea. There are zero obligations.
I paid a friend to help me build a product, but it has failed. Can you help me?
This is a common scenario - many developers have limited or no experience with production-level code or hosting. Building software is open to everyone, however building sophisticated production-ready applications takes experience. We’ll begin by clarifying your product objectives and then provide a proposal outlining several options. It’s unlikely that we’ll use the existing code.
Pricing
We are small and do not have a lot of money. Can you still help?
Absolutely. In most situations we are able to find a payment plan structure to help small organizations. Just talk to us...
Programming
My friend said he could build a product for me in a day using vibe coding (AI)
Hatchery developers rely on AI every day, but their primary focus remains on quality and building products that are both strong and adaptable. Much of our work involves FinTech or scientific software, where it is critical to understand the code thoroughly from start to finish. Knowing how the math works and how to structure a project ensures that it can be improved and evolve over time. Equally important is maintaining strict attention to system and application security—handing over these responsibilities entirely to AI is not always the right approach. Can you do a lot of great things using AI? Yes. We know it is best to augment our talented developers vs. replace them with AI.
