Cloud Bills Keep Climbing

AWS and GCP costs compound as you scale. You're paying enterprise prices for startup needs.

Development Takes Too Long

Every handoff between people slows a project down. Timelines slip, quality drops, and budgets grow.

Scaling Feels Impossible

Your infrastructure wasn't built for growth. Every feature takes longer than the last.

About

Built by Engineers Who Listen

Lumara Technologies was founded with a simple belief: software development should be transparent, efficient, and owned by the people who pay for it. We're a team of senior engineers who got tired of watching agencies over-promise and under-deliver.

Our core stack is React, Go, and PostgreSQL, and we also build Python backends, data pipelines, and AWS infrastructure. Every project benefits from years of experience with the same tools, the same patterns, and the same commitment to clean, maintainable code.

Our clients range from early-stage startups validating their first idea to growing companies replacing legacy systems. What they all have in common: they want senior engineers who ship production code and communicate clearly.

FAQ

Common Questions

How do retainers work?
A retainer buys a workstream, not a block of hours. You keep a prioritized list of requests, we work on the one at the top until it ships, then start the next. One workstream is $4,500 a month and two are $7,500. You get a demo and a written report every week, and you can change or cancel with 30 days notice.
What’s your tech stack?
Our core stack is React and TypeScript on the frontend, Go on the backend, and PostgreSQL for the database, deployed with Docker on Hetzner or your own servers. We also build and maintain Python backends, data pipelines, and AWS infrastructure managed with Terraform.
How do you handle communication?
You’ll have direct access to the engineers working on your project via Slack or Discord. No ticketing systems, no project managers in between. We also do weekly video calls to demo progress and gather feedback.
What if the project scope changes?
It happens, and we’re flexible. For fixed-price projects, we’ll discuss the change, estimate the impact, and provide an updated quote before doing any additional work. For retainers, we simply adjust priorities.
Do you work with early-stage startups?
Yes, we love working with startups. Our retainer model is perfect for early-stage companies who need senior engineering help but aren’t ready to hire full-time. We’ve helped several startups go from idea to launched product.
What happens after the project is done?
Every project includes 90 days of bug fixes and support. After that, you can continue with a maintenance retainer, or we hand off the codebase with full documentation. Either way, you own the code completely.
