FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clear answers on how we engineer & partner.
Everything you need to know about our engineering standards, engagement models, intellectual property ownership, and technical delivery process.
General & Engagement
How do client engagements work at TechAsylum?
We operate through two flexible engagement models: Dedicated SWAT Teams (senior embedded engineers working directly with your internal team) and Fixed-Scope Project Delivery (end-to-end architecture, development, and deployment of complex systems). Both models provide direct engineering access without intermediary account managers.
What is your typical project timeline?
Engagements typically range from 6 weeks for focused architecture audits or MVP launches to 6–12 months for multi-platform enterprise systems. We work in two-week agile sprints with continuous staging deployments and automated testing.
Engineering & Architecture
What technology stacks do you specialize in?
We specialize in native Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose), iOS (Swift, SwiftUI), cross-platform Flutter, modern web applications (Next.js, React 19, TypeScript), high-throughput distributed backends (Spring Boot, Go, Node.js), event streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ), databases (PostgreSQL, Redis), and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes).
Do you take over existing or legacy codebases?
Yes. We frequently conduct deep architectural and security audits on existing codebases, identify performance bottlenecks, modernize legacy dependencies, and refactor monolithic backends into clean, scalable microservices without service downtime.
Security & Intellectual Property
Who owns the intellectual property (IP) and code created?
You retain 100% full ownership of all source code, architecture specifications, design assets, and intellectual property. All repositories, cloud environments, and credentials are built within or transferred directly to your organization.
How do you ensure data security and regulatory compliance?
We engineer systems adhering to industry standards including SOC2, PCI-DSS Level 1 for financial ledgers, and HIPAA for health companion applications. We enforce end-to-end encryption, automated SAST/DAST vulnerability scans, least-privilege IAM, and comprehensive audit logs.
Pricing & Timelines
How are projects estimated and billed?
We provide transparent, milestone-based pricing for fixed-scope deliverables and monthly sprint billing for dedicated engineering teams. Our proposals include clear line-item deliverables, architectural milestones, and risk mitigation strategies.
Do you provide post-launch maintenance and SLA support?
Yes. We offer continuous SRE monitoring, automated dependency updates, 24/7 incident escalation SLAs, and ongoing feature engineering retainer options to ensure your software remains secure, optimized, and reliable.
