HelloWorld

Welcome to Decode; a boutique South African software development company driven by the vision to craft impactful technology that enhances a business - no matter the industry.

At Decode, we hold the firm belief that technology should be used to improve and simplify business operations, so that more time can be spent scaling the business instead of maintaining it.

Our mission is to provide managed software developer teams who take ownership and responsibility of the software products that they build and guide clients on both the technical and business direction of those products.

Building technology can seem daunting and complex, but together we can decode the solution.

Our Approach

We are in it for the long haul:

We look to establish long-term business relationships with our clients by providing design, development, operations and improvement services.

We keep things simple, without compromising on quality:

We aim to optimise the total cost of ownership by keeping things simple, building quality up front and not over-engineering, which keeps maintenance and extension costs down.

We focus on what we do best, then partner with other specialists for the rest:

We are highly skilled in writing quality code; we then partner with other businesses to offer the full suite of software product development services - including UI/UX design and cloud infrastructure.

Our preferred development approach and technology stack

  1. What we do best is write quality code. We partner with other organisations to offer a full suite of software product development services, including UI/UX Design and Cloud.
  2. Domain-driven design, peer code review, automated code quality and testing and automated deployments.
  3. Preferred tech stack: TypeScript with React or React Native. TypeScript with Node.js or JVM(Java/Kotlin). PostgreSQL. Docker. AWS.
