How We Deliver
A simple, focused process designed around clear thinking, regular delivery, and minimal surprises.
Discovery & Scoping
We start by understanding what you're building, why it matters, and what success looks like. Together we shape the scope, surface technical constraints, and agree on the right approach.
Plan & Set Up
We agree on the plan and process, and set up the foundations (repos, environments, communication channels) so we can move quickly from day one.
Build & Iterate
We deliver in regular sprints with working software at every step. You stay in the loop with frequent demos, clear updates, and code you can read and trust.
Deliver & Support
We deliver finished work, hand off cleanly, and stick around for the support, iteration, and scaling that comes next.

The Scalestack Advantage
Quality & Craftsmanship
We care about how software is built, not just that it ships. Our engineers obsess over readable code, sound architecture, and the small details that make products feel solid years after launch.
Pragmatic & Thoughtful
Every project is different. We don't force a one-size-fits-all process. We listen, weigh trade-offs, and pick the approach that actually fits your situation, your team, and your budget.
Accelerated Delivery
Experienced engineers who can hit the ground running. We move fast where speed matters, and slow down where care matters more.
Pricing That Fits the Work
Pilots and MVPs are fixed price, so you know the cost before we start. Ongoing work runs on a monthly retainer or by the hour, so you can scale the team up or down as your needs change.
Clear Communication & Context
Traditional vendors fall short on context, communication, and care. Our engineers integrate with your team, ask the right questions, and take the time to understand your product and vision.
True Partnership & Diligent Delivery
We go beyond contracts and code. Our approach is built on transparency, diligent execution, and long-term care, so you gain a partner invested in your success rather than just another vendor.

Frequently Asked Questions
The services we offer, how we work with teams, and what to expect from working with us.
What does Scalestack do?
Scalestack is a software engineering company based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We build custom software, from new products and MVPs to AI-powered features and changes to systems you already run, and we advise on architecture, technology choices, and how a team delivers. New products and AI pilots are sold as fixed-price packages, and open-ended work such as team augmentation, consulting and maintenance is billed by the hour. The work can start from a blank page or from software already running in production. There is more detail at scalestacktech.io/services.
Do you charge by the hour or by the project?
Both, depending on the work. New products and AI pilots are fixed-price packages: an AI Pilot or MVP Sprint takes 4-12 weeks depending on complexity, at a price agreed before work starts, a Product Team runs on a monthly retainer or by the hour, so you can scale the team up or down, and agencies can have a fixed quote per client project or work hourly. Team augmentation, technical consulting, and maintenance of software already in production are billed by the hour and invoiced monthly. Either way, you own all the code and IP.
Who will I be working with?
The engineers who build your software. We do not use account managers, and there is no hand-off between a sales team and a delivery team. The person who scopes the work is the person responsible for delivering it.
Who owns the code and the intellectual property?
You do. Every design, every repository, and every line of code we write for you is yours. Your product vision stays yours throughout. Our role is to turn it into working software and to raise the engineering questions worth asking along the way.
What kinds of projects do you take on?
We work across industries and company stages, from startups building a first product to established teams with software already in production. The sector matters less than the shape of the problem: building something new, adding capability to a product that already exists, or improving a system the business depends on. If you are not sure whether your project is a fit, ask us. Examples of our work are at scalestacktech.io/projects.
How does Scalestack approach AI?
Most teams know AI could help somewhere in their product. The harder part is working out where it genuinely helps, then shipping something that holds up in production rather than in a demo. We help find that, then build it properly. We also use AI in the products we run ourselves, so this is not theoretical for us.
What technologies do you work with?
Broadly, and deliberately so. Our work spans web and mobile development, cloud and infrastructure, data engineering, and AI and machine learning, across the major languages and ecosystems in each. We are not tied to a single stack. If you already have a codebase, we work in what it uses rather than pushing you toward what we happen to prefer, and if you are starting from scratch, we pick the technology that fits the problem and the people who will maintain it. We are happy to talk specifics for your project.
Can you work on our existing or legacy system?
Yes, and a good part of our work is exactly that. Legacy systems usually carry the business, so changing them carries risk. We work incrementally through migrations, refactors, and rebuilds, so the business keeps running while the system improves. Sometimes the honest recommendation is that a full rebuild is not what you need yet.
Why build with an engineering team in Vietnam?
Vietnam is one of Asia's fastest-growing technology hubs, producing over 60,000 IT graduates a year and supporting a workforce of more than 400,000 software engineers, with a strong culture of open source and remote collaboration. We are an engineering company based in Ho Chi Minh City, and we build and operate our own software alongside our clients' work, so the engineers you work with are held to the same standard we hold ourselves to.
How do we get started?
Tell us what you are trying to build. The first conversation costs nothing, and we will tell you honestly what we would build first, what we would leave until later, and why. You can reach us at contact@scalestacktech.io.
