Question 1

What languages and frameworks do you build in?

Accepted Answer

Python, Node.js, Java, and .NET/C# on the backend — chosen based on your performance requirements, existing infrastructure, and the long-term maintainability of the system. For data-heavy applications we typically default to Python with FastAPI or Django. For high-concurrency systems, Node.js or Go. For enterprise integration work, Java or .NET. We document the rationale in the architecture decision record.

Question 2

Do we own the code when the project is done?

Accepted Answer

Yes, unconditionally. You receive full source code, all assets, database schemas, infrastructure-as-code configurations, and all intellectual property rights. We sign an IP assignment agreement before the first commit. There's no dependency on Spacelinkers after handover.

Question 3

How do you prevent scope creep from blowing the timeline?

Accepted Answer

With a written scope document signed before development starts, and a formal change request process for anything outside it. When new requirements emerge — and they always do — we scope them separately and give you a clear choice: add to the current project (with updated timeline/cost), defer to a phase two, or drop something of equivalent complexity. There are no surprises at invoice time.

Question 4

What's the minimum viable engagement — can we start small?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer a paid discovery sprint — typically two weeks, fixed price — that produces the architecture document and project scope. Many clients use this to validate the approach before committing to a full build. If we're not the right fit after discovery, the document belongs to you and you can take it to any engineering team.

Question 5

How do you handle projects that need to integrate with our existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Integration mapping is part of discovery. We document every system interface, API contract, and data dependency before writing code. If the third-party system has poor documentation or unstable APIs, we flag it early and build adapter layers that isolate that volatility from your core system. Integration failures are the most common cause of delayed software projects — we treat them as first-class requirements, not afterthoughts.

Question 6

How do you ensure quality — do you have QA engineers?

Accepted Answer

We believe QA is an engineering discipline, not a separate job. Developers write unit and integration tests as part of every story. We also run dedicated QA passes before every major release — functional testing, regression testing, and performance testing under load. For regulated industries (fintech, healthcare), we can add penetration testing and compliance review to the scope.

Question 7

What happens if we need changes after the software goes live?

Accepted Answer

We offer structured post-launch support: a 30-day warranty period where bugs are fixed at no charge, followed by optional retainer agreements for ongoing development. The codebase is documented and structured for handover — if you bring in your own team later, they won't need us to explain how it works.

Question 8

We've had a bad experience with an offshore development team before. What makes this different?

Accepted Answer

The most common complaints: communication gaps, unmaintainable code, and a team that disappeared after handover. Our response: every project has a dedicated Slack channel and weekly video calls with the actual engineers — not account managers. The codebase is reviewed for readability and documentation standards before delivery. And we include a structured handover session where we walk your team through the architecture, not just hand over a zip file.

Question 9

What is a discovery sprint and do we need one?

Accepted Answer

A discovery sprint is a fixed-price 2-week engagement that produces the architecture document, project scope, and technology decisions for your software project — before any development starts. It costs ₹60,000–₹1,20,000 depending on complexity. You need one if: your requirements are still evolving, you want an independent technical opinion on the right approach, or you've been burned by a fixed-price contract that blew up because the scope wasn't properly defined. The document belongs to you — if we're not the right fit after discovery, you can take it to any engineering team.

Question 10

How do you protect our intellectual property and data?

Accepted Answer

We sign an NDA before the first call — not after you've shared your brief. The IP assignment agreement transfers full ownership of all code, assets, and IP to you before the first commit is written. Spacelinkers retains no rights to anything produced for your project. For data security: we work in access-controlled environments, never use client data for other projects, and for regulated industries we can work inside your own cloud infrastructure under your security controls.
