About
An engineering studio that stays after launch.
AKANTIO builds, integrates and maintains software for businesses in the Netherlands and abroad, and runs its own products in production.
What we believe
Most software fails slowly: a quick fix nobody documented, a plugin nobody updates, an integration that silently stops. We build to avoid that, because we live with the consequences in our own products every day.
We start from the business problem, choose the simplest technology that solves it well, and leave behind code that the next developer can understand, whether that is us or someone else.
Engineering principles
Tests before code
We write automated tests first, so changes next year are as safe as changes today.
Clean boundaries
Business rules live apart from frameworks and databases, so either can change without a rewrite.
Explicit contracts
Every API we build has a documented, validated contract (OpenAPI), so integrations do not break by surprise.
Boring technology
Proven tools your team can hire for. Novelty only where it pays for itself.
How we work with you
Direct contact
You talk to the engineer doing the work, not an account manager.
Everything in writing
Scope, price, risks and decisions are written down and shared.
Small, visible steps
Working software to look at every one to two weeks, not a big reveal at the end.
