Software products & consulting
Software worth staying up for.
Night Owl Labs builds software products and helps engineering teams with the hard parts: architecture, delivery, and the systems nobody wants to touch.
Business hours apply, despite the name.
From the lab
Software we build, and keep running.
We make our own tools and products, then stay with them after launch. The people who wrote the code are the people who answer for it.
- Built to be operated. Sensible defaults, useful logs, and upgrades that don't ruin your afternoon.
- Documented properly. Written for the person reading it for the first time, under some pressure.
- Maintained. Supported by the team that built it, with no ticket relay in between.
Consulting
A second pair of eyes, and these ones see in the dark.
- Architecture & system design
- New systems planned around your constraints, or a clear path out of the one you already have.
- Custom development
- Focused software built alongside your team, and handed over in a state you can own.
- Code & reliability reviews
- An independent look at what's fragile, what's fine, and which fixes are worth paying for.
- Technical advisory
- Senior judgment for build-or-buy calls, roadmaps and hiring, without a full-time hire.
Hours
Night owls, not an on-call rotation.
The name describes when the good ideas show up, not when the phone gets answered. We don't run a 24x7 operation, and we'd rather tell you now than during your outage.
- Replies
- Within two business days.
- Coverage
- Business hours. No pager, no round-the-clock SLA.
- At 3 a.m.
- Our goal is that nobody needs us. We build for that, with reliable systems, clear runbooks and clean handoffs.
