A software atelier — limitbreak.dev
Deep production engineering, amplified by AI. We build nearly anything a growing business needs — and we test it heavily, so it stays built.
Better, faster, and quieter than you’d expect — without ever lowering the bar. Or we’ll teach your team to do it themselves.
The catalogue
Languages and frameworks are no longer the constraint. We select the right tools for the work, then commit them to a fully tested deliverable.
Full-stack work across modern and legacy stacks — PHP / Laravel / WordPress as the comfort zone, Ruby / Rails, and Vue / React front-ends styled with Tailwind.
Full backends with queues and background processing, OpenAPI specifications, and robust CLIs & SDKs in multiple languages — with documentation written for humans and machines alike.
CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Dependabot configured securely, deployment automation, bespoke tooling in bash and Go, reproducible infrastructure at sane scale, and Cloudflare / DNS / CDN with proper security hardening.
Automated test suites wired into CI and handed over as a complimentary artifact, manual QA, plus caching and database optimization that makes existing apps faster without a rewrite.
WordPress installs, custom plugins and themes, host-to-host and CMS-to-CMS migrations, and ongoing maintenance and scaling as demand grows.
Straightforward CRUD apps for the “we need an app” brief — and, for clients who bring their own Claude subscription, automated workflows, MCPs and connectors set up and made approachable.
Goodbye, SaaS. Where it fits, we replace overpriced mass-market subscriptions with custom, secure tools you own outright.
The method
Decades of real-world production experience set the standard. AI is the leverage that lets us move quickly across any stack — never an excuse to ship something we wouldn’t run ourselves.
Expert engineering judgement directs the tools. The result moves at a modern pace while holding to standards we’ve honed in production for years.
Heavy automated test coverage is part of every build, wired into CI and handed back to you free of charge. Changes ship without regressions; bugs get fixed fast.
Prefer to own the craft? We’ll coach your people to do the work themselves — and we’ll tell you straight, even when the honest answer is “not us.”
The luxury isn’t in the price. It’s in the restraint — software with nothing extra, nothing missing, and nothing left untested.
The Limit Break standard
The Vibe Check
Shipped something fast with AI and want to be sure it’s sound? We clean up the slop and bring it up to standard: code and architecture reviews, security and dependency audits, and the test coverage it should have had from the start.
Architecture review. Hidden coupling and shaky assumptions surfaced and rewritten before they reach customers.
Security & dependency audit. Vulnerable packages, leaked secrets and weak defaults found, patched and locked down.
Tests, handed over. A suite wired into CI so the next change — yours or ours — ships with confidence.
The studio
languages, no barrier
cost for the test suite
Limit Break is a boutique software studio with decades of production experience behind it. We work the way a good atelier does — quietly, precisely, and with an obsession for the details no one else notices. Modern AI tooling means the language or framework is rarely the question; the question is whether the thing is built well, and whether it will hold.
That’s why heavy test automation is non-negotiable, and why we hand the suite back to you for nothing. We’d rather be honest than booked — if a job isn’t right for us, we’ll say so, and point you somewhere better. The promise is simple: better, faster, and cheaper than you’d expect, without lowering the bar.

A short note about the project is plenty to start. We’ll reply with honest thoughts on scope, approach, and whether we’re the right house for it.
