Production delivery for technology & SaaS teams

SaaS founders and product teams move fast with AI-assisted development — then stall on production hosting, secrets, CI/CD, and customer security reviews. North Ark gets you live on Azure with a senior engineer who has shipped before.

B2B SaaS, dev tools, and AI-native product teams — pre-revenue to ~40 staff.

Ship AI-built products safely

Prototype works locally — production, security, and CI/CD do not. Tell us your launch date — we reply with FC-10 sprint fit.

Security check

Common pressures

Demo works — production does not

Localhost heroes; no staging, exposed keys, and RLS policies nobody tested under load.

Enterprise pilots demand security evidence

Questionnaires arrive before revenue — you need credible answers, not vibes.

AI features without a platform plan

RAG bolted on without RBAC, observability, or cost controls — a incident waiting to happen.

AI-built prototype to production — launch in three weeks

SaaS founder, pre-revenue

A founder had a working prototype built in Cursor — demo-ready but nowhere near production. Exposed API keys in repo, no CI/CD, Supabase RLS untested, and a launch date already promised to early customers.

  • Time to live: Production in 3 weeks from audit start
  • Security: Critical RLS and auth issues closed pre-launch
  • Enterprise pilot: Passed customer security questionnaire

Questions

We built in Supabase / Vercel — can you still help?
Yes — FC-10 and ship outcomes target your agreed stack. We audit, pipeline, and harden what you have before rewriting anything.
Can you add RAG to our existing product?
Often via OC-03 pilot or FC-28 AI Ops sprint — scoped after FC-07 AI Reality Check if the use case is still fuzzy.
