Bench

115+ people, 80 Databricks-certified

Shipping version one of an app is a solved problem. Keeping it working through two OS releases, a certificate expiry, a store policy change and a team handover is not, and that is where the cost actually lands.

DatabricksTemporalAzure

TechFabric is a Databricks partner with an award-winning Databricks engineering team, 80 of them Databricks-certified, and a Temporal partner. Where a system reaches past the workspace we build on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.

Why Phoenix companies work with us

The backend is part of the app

An app is a client, and most of what decides whether it feels good is what it is talking to. We build the API and the data layer with it, rather than pointing a new app at somebody else's problem.

Year two is planned in week one

Who owns the certificates, how a release is staged, what happens when the OS changes. Those decisions are cheap before launch and expensive after, so they get made first.

Senior throughout

The average engineer has fifteen years of production experience, and the person in your standup is the person writing the code. No pyramid with one architect over a floor of juniors.

In the metro, not flying in

Gilbert is twenty minutes from Tempe and Chandler and an easy drive from the city. For the parts of a build that go better in a room, we can be in yours.

What app development covers here

iOS and Android

A shared codebase where it suits the product and native where it does not. It is a per-product decision rather than a house position, and anyone who answers it before hearing what the app does is telling you about themselves.

Web apps

The browser half of the same product, built to be changed safely years after the original team has moved on. Tests that mean something, seams where the business logic can move, a deployment nobody is afraid of.

The backend and API

Built with the app rather than found afterwards. Where you already have an API we will work with it and say plainly if it is the reason the app will feel slow.

Offline behaviour and sync

Decided deliberately at the start. A field app that has to work in a warehouse with no signal is a different design from one that assumes a connection, and retrofitting the difference means rewriting the data layer.

Release and store submission

Staged rollout so a bad build reaches a few hundred people rather than everyone, and the App Store and Play Store process including the rejections, which arrive for reasons that have nothing to do with code quality.

Keeping it alive

Two OS releases a year, certificates that expire while somebody is on holiday, and store policies that change. We stay on a maintenance footing or hand over with the provisioning and the release process written down.

Clients we have done this for

Every one of these is written up on this site.

Financial services and lending

Origination, refinancing and servicing platforms, where the app is one client of a governed workflow and a wrong write is expensive. Auto Approve doubled the monthly loans it processes on a platform we built.

Sport and media

Live results, streaming and audience products, where the app is judged on race day rather than on the average day, and the pipeline behind it stitches 400M+ athlete records across sources.

Consumer products and commerce

Commerce and warehouse systems and the apps in front of them, judged on the day the traffic arrives.

Operations in the field

Handsets and tablets for people who are not at a desk, where offline behaviour, sync and a battery that lasts the shift decide whether the app gets used.

How an engagement runs

  1. 01

    A technical conversation

    Not a sales call. An engineer, asking what the app has to do, who uses it, what it talks to and what has been tried. Product and design people join the same conversation where the work needs them.

  2. 02

    Two weeks, fixed fee

    A short assessment ending in a written plan with a scope, a sequence and a number, including the decisions that are cheap now and expensive later. You own the document whether or not you carry on with us.

  3. 03

    Build with your team in the repo

    App, backend and release process together, senior throughout. The person in your standup is the person writing the code.

  4. 04

    Ship, and keep shipping

    Staged rollout, store submission, and either a maintenance footing with us or a handover with the provisioning and release process written down. The handover version only works if it was planned before launch.

FAQ

App development in Phoenix: common questions

Is TechFabric an app development company in Phoenix?

Yes. We are in the Phoenix metropolitan area, at 1530 E Williams Field Rd, Ste 201, Gilbert, AZ 85295, founded in 2017, with 115+ people. We build iOS, Android and web apps and the backends underneath them for companies across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and Chandler.

Native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform for most business applications, native where the product depends on something the platform does specifically. It is a per-product decision, and we will say which we think applies once we have heard what the app does.

Do you handle App Store and Play Store submission?

Yes, including the rejections. First submissions get rejected for reasons that have nothing to do with code quality, and knowing which ones are coming is most of what makes a launch date real.

What happens after launch?

Two OS releases a year, certificates that expire, and store policies that change. We can stay on a maintenance footing or hand over to your team with the provisioning, release process and decisions written down.
