M/01
Direct communication
You speak to the engineers doing the work. Account management does not stand in between.
§ Yoto GmbH — Studio N°01
Software engineered
for systems that stay in service.
We are a small, focused software engineering studio. We design and build custom applications, cloud platforms and integrations for organisations that plan to run the result for many years.

§ 01 — Introduction
A studio, not a factory.
Yoto GmbH exists to build software carefully. Every engagement begins with a written problem statement, an honest technical assessment and an agreement about the way we will work together. We prefer small teams, direct communication and a limited number of concurrent projects to a large roster of half-attended ones.
Our work is engineering. Interfaces should be usable, code should be readable, and decisions should be traceable. What we produce should still make sense to the team that inherits it three years from now.
§ 02 — Core capabilities
What the studio does.
- 01
Custom software
Applications built to fit a specific operation instead of a category.
- 02
Cloud platforms
Infrastructure, environments and delivery pipelines on major providers.
- 03
APIs & integrations
Contracts between systems that hold up as both sides evolve.
- 04
Modernisation
Bringing older codebases forward without pausing the business.
- 05
Architecture
Structural decisions documented, discussed and revisited over time.
- 06
Quality & security
Testing, reviews and hardening embedded in the working process.

§ 03 — Services overview
Six service lines, one working method.
Every service is delivered by engineers who own the technical decision. There are no layers between the team writing the code and the person accountable for it.
- S/01
Custom software development
Purpose-built applications for internal or customer-facing use.
- S/02
Web application development
Interfaces engineered for daily use, not just first impressions.
- S/03
Backend & API engineering
Data models, services and contracts that scale with your product.
- S/04
Cloud solutions
Environments, delivery and observability across major providers.
- S/05
Legacy modernisation
Incremental replacement strategies that keep systems in service.
- S/06
Technical consulting
Reviews, architecture, and support for in-house engineering teams.
A full description of each service is on the Services page.
§ 04 — Technology
An index of the tools we actually use.
Technology choices are made per project against the requirement, the operating context and the team that will run the result. This is the current working vocabulary of the studio.
- Languages
- TypeScript · JavaScript · Python · Go · Java · Kotlin · C# · SQL
- Frontend
- React · Next.js · Vue · Svelte · Tailwind · Web Components
- Backend
- Node.js · NestJS · Django · FastAPI · Spring · .NET · GraphQL · gRPC
- Data
- PostgreSQL · MySQL · Redis · ClickHouse · MongoDB · Elasticsearch
- Cloud & infra
- AWS · GCP · Azure · Kubernetes · Terraform · Docker · CI/CD
§ 05 — Development process
Five stages, no theatre.
We keep the process visible. Anyone on the client side can follow what is happening, why, and what is next.
- 01
Discovery
We map the problem, constraints and existing systems together with your team.
- 02
Definition
Scope, architecture and delivery plan are written down and shared.
- 03
Iteration
Short cycles with working software, review sessions and honest reporting.
- 04
Hardening
Automated tests, performance and security work moved from tail-end to routine.
- 05
Handover
Documentation, environments and knowledge transferred to the people who own the system next.
§ 06 — Problems we help with
Situations where a studio like ours is useful.
- P/01
Operations depend on spreadsheets and manual work that cannot scale further.
- P/02
An existing product needs a rebuild before adding another feature is realistic.
- P/03
Third-party systems have to exchange data reliably and remain in sync.
- P/04
A regulated workflow needs a clear audit trail and traceable decisions.
- P/05
Engineering capacity is limited and a specific programme needs to move forward.
- P/06
A public API is required for partners, and it must remain stable for years.
§ 07 — Industries & projects
Where the work has taken us.
The studio takes on projects in the domains listed here. Domain fit is confirmed during discovery, not assumed.
- 01Industrial & manufacturing
- 02Logistics & mobility
- 03Financial services
- 04Health & medical technology
- 05Public sector programmes
- 06SaaS & digital products
- 07Retail & commerce platforms
- 08Research & data
§ 08 — Security & quality
Hardened by habit, not by audit season.
Q/01
Automated test suites are written alongside the code, not after it.
Q/02
Every change goes through code review before it reaches a shared branch.
Q/03
Secrets, dependencies and access are handled with least-privilege defaults.
Q/04
Logs, metrics and traces are set up early so that operating the system is not an afterthought.
Q/05
Threat modelling is done in proportion to the sensitivity of the data being handled.

§ 09 — Collaboration
How working with the studio actually feels.
M/02
Written record
Decisions, trade-offs and open questions are captured in shared documents that outlive any single meeting.
M/03
Predictable cadence
A short weekly review, a running plan and honest status. No surprise reports at milestones.
§ 10 — Frequently asked
Questions people usually ask before we begin.
- Q/01Do you work with in-house engineering teams?
- Yes. Many of our engagements are with clients who already have engineers and need a partner for a specific programme, architectural review, or delivery capacity.
- Q/02How are engagements structured?
- Typically as a defined programme with a written scope, a fixed team of engineers, and a working cadence that lets both sides review and adjust.
- Q/03Can you sign an NDA before we share details?
- Yes. A mutual non-disclosure agreement can be signed before the first technical conversation.
- Q/04Do you take over maintenance of an existing codebase?
- Yes, after a review period. We do not accept ongoing maintenance responsibility for a system we have not examined.
- Q/05Where does the work happen?
- Work is remote-first with regular structured communication. On-site working sessions can be arranged when a project benefits from them.
- Q/06How is intellectual property handled?
- Code, documentation and artefacts produced under a client engagement are assigned to the client under the terms of the agreement.
