A CMS With No Database: Running softpapaya.com Content on Sveltia and Git
No Postgres. No headless SaaS. No backend server. softpapaya.com content lives as markdown in git, edited through Sveltia, published by two GitHub Actions.
Your idea, built properly. Web apps, mobile apps, APIs, platforms - from a napkin sketch to prod. We pick the right stack, not the trendy one.
Need more hands? Our engineers slot into your squad like they've been there for months. Your rituals, your tools, our brains.
Architecture, migration, CI/CD, monitoring. We set things up so your team ships fast and sleeps well. No 3 AM panic calls.
LLM integrations, RAG pipelines, agents, custom models. We cut through the hype - AI gets picked where it actually moves the needle, not because the deck said so.
Pipelines, warehouses, analytics. Your data in one place, clean and queryable. No more 'ask Marek for the CSV'.
Delivery leads, scoping, reporting, risk. We keep the train on the tracks so your team can focus on shipping.
2–6 week builds to prove a risky idea. We strip it to the essentials, wire just enough to work in the real world, then kill or scale based on evidence.
Research, wireframes, design systems, prototypes. We design interfaces people actually use — not ones that confuse customers.
A new post every week about how we build software at SoftPapaya - from architecture to working culture.

No React. No Next.js. Astro 5 + Cloudflare Pages, 126 KiB total, Lighthouse mobile 97/96/100/100. The softpapaya.com stack with no bullshit.
A client implemented SCD Type 6 across all warehouse dimensions but never used the "current value" columns. The result - doubled storage, slower queries, avoidable ETL complexity - until a targeted redesign restored performance.
No Medium-style upsells, no tracking pixel. Just the stuff we do and how we do it.
Wrocław HQ is home base. Remote days when you need them, office when you want the buzz. No rigid rules.
Your call. Both options, fair rates, no tricks.
A chill office in central Wrocław. Come in for coffee, a team lunch, or a quiet day away from home.
Right tool for the job, not the trendy one from the deck. Architecture, language, framework - team call, no architect council.
You talk to the client directly. No account managers, no requirements lost between hand-offs.
Flat hierarchy. Tech decisions stay with tech people. No death-by-committee.
I joined for 1 month. That was 9 months ago. Code in the morning, in prod by lunch. Still weird to me.
Good people, real projects, no micromanagement. Sound alright?
