Delivery

How we deliver

Scheduled tasks are built with retries and idempotency to avoid bad repeats.

We add visibility into run success, duration, and failures.

We design rollbacks and safety controls for critical workflows.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Often no. We recommend running scheduled tasks in worker processes or managed schedulers to keep web servers responsive.

We use locking, idempotency keys, and run tracking so repeated schedules don’t create repeated side effects.

Yes. Scheduled jobs can publish events, enqueue work, or trigger n8n workflows depending on your architecture.

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (US)

For US teams, we build with auditability in mind: clear access boundaries, least-privilege roles, and reviewable operational controls.

We can align delivery with SOC 2 / ISO-friendly practices (without claiming certification): evidence-ready logs, secure-by-default config, and clear ownership.

  • SOC 2 / ISO-friendly implementation patterns (no certification claims)
  • Least-privilege access and permission boundaries
  • Security review checklists for auth, payments, and data flows
  • PII-safe logging + incident response playbooks (on request)
  • Retention and deletion flows where required
  • NDA + vendor onboarding docs on request

Timezone & Collaboration (Americas)

We support teams across the Americas with meeting windows that work for EST/CST/MST/PST.

We keep delivery predictable with weekly milestones, concise async updates, and written decisions to reduce calendar load.

  • Americas overlap with EST/PST-friendly windows
  • Async-first updates with written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos + change control
  • Fast turnaround on blockers and clarifications
  • Clear owner per workstream and escalation path

Engagement & Procurement (US)

US-friendly engagement structure: clear SOWs, milestone billing, and invoice cadence that fits typical procurement workflows.

If you need vendor onboarding artefacts, we can provide security posture summaries and delivery process documentation.

  • USD invoicing and milestone-based payment schedules
  • SOW + scope lock options for fixed-scope work
  • Time-and-materials for evolving requirements
  • Procurement-ready documentation on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (US)

We ship with a security-first checklist and performance budgets—so releases stay stable under real traffic.

Expect clean PRs, reviewable changes, and production-ready testing from day one.

  • Threat-aware checks for auth, roles, and sensitive data flows
  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + critical path smoke tests
  • Performance budgets (Core Web Vitals-minded) and bundle checks
  • Structured logging + error tracking hooks (Sentry-ready)
  • Rollback-safe releases and clear release notes
