Boutique software consultancy
Decades of real production engineering, amplified by AI — so languages and frameworks stop being the obstacle. Better, faster, and cheaper than you'd expect, without ever lowering the bar.
— the deal —
Web, APIs, infra, mobile, AI — pick your poison. If it ships and it has to survive real users, it's our lane.
Full-stack across modern and legacy stacks. PHP/Laravel/WordPress is our comfort zone; Ruby/Rails, Vue, React and Tailwind on tap. We modernize crusty codebases without a reckless rewrite.
Full backends with queues and background jobs, OpenAPI specs, and robust CLIs/SDKs in multiple languages — with docs that are friendly to humans and machines.
CI/CD, GitHub Actions & Dependabot set up securely, deployment automation, dev tooling (CLIs/bash/Go), reproducible IaC at sane scale, and Cloudflare/CDN/DNS.
Automated test suites handed over as a free artifact — yours to keep. Plus QA, caching strategy, and database optimization that makes existing apps faster without a rewrite.
WordPress installs, custom plugins & themes, host-to-host and CMS-to-CMS migrations, plus ongoing maintenance & scaling so it doesn't fall over later.
Straightforward CRUD apps for the "we need an app" crowd. No fuss, no over-engineering — just the app you actually need.
Bring your own Claude subscription — we automate the workflows around it, wire up MCPs and connectors, and make AI approachable for teams told to "just use AI" with zero idea where to start.
// the method
Deep real-world engineering amplified by AI means a language or framework is no longer a wall. The judgment is human; AI just lets us move faster across more of the map.
Heavy test automation keeps quality high and bugs fixed fast. You get the suite as a free deliverable — wired into CI, ready to catch the next regression before users do.
Don't want a long-term dependency? We'll coach your team to do it themselves — and we'll tell you straight, even if the honest answer is "this one's not us."
$ lb vibe-check ./your-app → scanning architecture, security, deps... ! found 17 TODOs that are load-bearing ! found secrets in the repo (yikes) ! found "works on localhost:8000, bro" → plan harden · test · document · ship ✓ status production-ready </>
// the vibe check
Shipped something with AI over a weekend and now it's scary? We do code, architecture, security and dependency reviews — then clean up the slop and take it from made localhost:8000 this weekend to genuinely production-ready.
// the studio
Limit Break is a boutique studio that grew up shipping real production software — and, somewhere along the way, making punk flyers. The surface is loud; the engineering underneath is dead serious.
We pair decades of hands-on production experience with AI leverage and heavy test automation, so the promise actually holds: better, faster, and cheaper than you'd expect — without lowering the bar.
And we'll tell you straight. If the right move is a cheap off-the-shelf tool, or another shop, or teaching your own people to do it — that's the advice you'll get. No upsell theater.
