We build products
that scale.
XelaByte Studios partners with founders and engineering teams to design, build, and ship world-class digital products — from first commit to production.
Trusted by teams building the next generation of software
Everything your product needs to launch and grow.
Product Engineering
Full-stack product development from architecture to deployment. We own the whole stack so you can ship faster.
Design Systems
Scalable component libraries and design tokens that keep your product consistent as your team grows.
AI Integration
LLM-powered features, RAG pipelines, and agent workflows embedded thoughtfully into your product.
DevOps & Infrastructure
CI/CD, containerisation, IaC, and observability — the foundation that lets your engineers move fast safely.
Open Source Consulting
Strategy, maintenance, and community building for open source projects that drive developer adoption.
Technical Advisory
Fractional CTO support for early-stage teams navigating architecture decisions and technical hiring.
Work we're proud to ship.
Meridian Health
Rebuilt their patient portal from scratch — 3× faster load times, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, shipped in 14 weeks.
Forge Labs
Designed and built a design system adopted across 6 product teams, reducing component drift by 80%.
Cobalt Finance
Embedded an AI copilot into their underwriting workflow — 40% reduction in manual review time.
Orbit Analytics
Migrated a monolith to microservices with zero downtime, cutting infrastructure costs by 35%.
A process that reduces surprises.
Discovery
We start by deeply understanding your problem space, users, and constraints. No assumptions — just sharp questions and honest answers.
Architecture
We design a system that solves today's problem without painting you into a corner. Decisions are documented; trade-offs are explicit.
Build
Iterative, test-covered development with weekly demos. You see progress every week — not just at the end.
Ship
We own the handoff: CI/CD, runbooks, observability, and onboarding for your team. Delivery is a transition, not a drop-off.

We build in public and share what we learn.
Open Source
Auth.js adapter optimised for Next.js App Router edge runtime. Drop-in JWT middleware with zero cold-start overhead.
Sync Figma Variables to Tailwind CSS v4 design tokens via the Figma REST API. One command, no manual copy-paste.
Type-safe PostgreSQL migrations with automatic rollback detection and CI integration for zero-downtime deployments.
Writing
After 18 months of tRPC on every project, we moved to a simpler pattern. Here's what we learned.
Building a component library is the easy part. Maintaining adoption across teams is where most investments die.
Most AI feature work never reaches production. We've shipped five. Here's the pattern that made the difference.
Don't take our word for it.
“XelaByte shipped our MVP in 12 weeks. Their architecture decisions saved us six months of painful refactoring later. I'd hire them again without hesitation.”
“The design system they built for us is the single best investment we've made in developer productivity. Every new feature takes half the time it used to.”
“Their AI integration work was thoughtful and practical — not a demo that falls apart in production. It's been running for 9 months with no major incidents.”
How we work together.
