Drupal Engineering
Custom modules, deep integrations, performance tuning, and modern headless builds for complex content platforms.
WEB & APP WORKSHOP • DENVER, CO
We design, build, and maintain production-ready web and mobile products.
ColibriCode is a hands-on engineering workshop based in Denver, Colorado. We focus on Drupal, Symfony, Laravel, modern web apps, mobile apps, Python services, and Go microservices. We work with teams that care about long-term quality, not just getting a prototype out the door.

Read moreWHO WE WORK WITH
Teams that get the most value from ColibriCode.
We’re a great fit when there is real product work to do, ownership to share, and a stack that needs senior attention—whether that’s Drupal, Python, Go, or all of the above.
Scale-ups • Mid-market • Enterprise units
Product & Marketing Teams
You own a digital product that needs to move faster.
- You have a backlog of real user-facing work, not just experiments.
- You need a senior team that can own full features end-to-end.
- You care about long-term maintainability, not just the next launch.
Heads of Eng • CTOs • Tech Leads
Engineering Leaders
You have a roadmap, but not enough senior hands.
- You want extra capacity without lowering the quality bar.
- You need people who can read existing code and improve it.
- You want partners who bring ideas, not just tickets closed.
Seed to Series B • New business lines
Founders & Operators
You need to ship something real, not just a prototype.
- You have a clear problem and real customers in sight.
- You want predictable delivery and transparent communication.
- You prefer owning your code and infrastructure from day one.

WHY COLIBRICODE
A workshop mindset with long-term ownership.
We’re not here to throw code over the wall. We make sure what we build can be owned and extended by your team later.
1
Workshop, not an agency machine.
We work in small, senior teams that think with you, not just take orders from a ticket system.
2
Focused tech stack.
Drupal, Symfony, Laravel, modern JS, Python, Go, and DevOps. We say no to stacks we can't master.
3
Production-first thinking.
We design for real-world users, traffic, and failures—not just happy-path demos.
ENGAGEMENT MODELS
Ways we plug into your product work.
Different stages need different shapes of collaboration. We keep our models simple and transparent.
Project-based delivery
Defined scope, milestones, and outcomes for a clear project phase or product launch.
BEST FOR
Best for greenfield builds, redesigns, or time-boxed modernization.
Embedded squad
A ColibriCode team working alongside your engineers, sharing tools and rituals.
BEST FOR
Best for ongoing roadmaps where you need extra senior capacity.
Rescue & stabilization
We take over a struggling codebase, stabilize it, and put it back on a sane track.
BEST FOR
Best for legacy projects, missed deadlines, and noisy production incidents.
HOW WE WORK
A clear, opinionated delivery process.
Whether we’re tuning a Drupal site, building a Python API, or splitting a Go service out of a monolith, we follow the same rhythm: learn fast, ship small, and leave things better than we found them.
01 • Discovery & audit
Understand the reality, not just the pitch deck.
We review your stack, pain points, constraints, and goals. When there’s existing code, we start with a small technical audit so we know what we’re walking into.
02 • Shaping the work
Translate goals into concrete, shippable slices.
We define a thin slice of value to ship first, map dependencies, and agree on scope, success metrics, and communication rhythm.
03 • Build & iterate
Tight feedback loops, visible progress.
We ship in small increments—demo-able chunks across Drupal, Python, Go, or frontend—so you always know what’s done, what’s in progress, and what’s next.
04 • Stabilize & handover
Production, docs, and a clean exit path.
We harden for production, add monitoring, document the important pieces, and make sure your internal team can run with the stack after we’re gone.
CASE STUDIES
Selected work and measurable outcomes.
We focus on outcomes: faster sites, more reliable flows, simpler operations — and data pipelines that Python and Go services can actually keep up with.
SaaS / DevOps
MonkeysCloud Platform
Web agencies & dev teams (MonkeysCloud)
9 months to v1 • ongoing evolution
TECHNOLOGY STACK
Symfony APIs + Next.js app + Python workers + Drupal 10 site + Terraform
THE CHALLENGE
Agencies were juggling separate tools for tasks, Git, deployments, and server management. Spinning up a new project meant repeating the same manual setup on snowflake servers, with no single place to see project health.
OUR SOLUTION
We built MonkeysCloud as a multi-tenant control plane: Symfony APIs as the core brain, a Next.js app as the main dashboard, Python workers for backups and health checks, a Drupal 10 site for the marketing layer, and Terraform to codify all infrastructure for repeatable, safe provisioning.
Project Setup Time

SaaS / Infrastructure
MonkeysMail Email Infrastructure
Product teams using MonkeysMail
12 months to stable v1 • ongoing
TECHNOLOGY STACK
PHP mail APIs + hardened mail servers + Next.js dashboard + Terraform
THE CHALLENGE
Teams needed reliable transactional email (SMTP and HTTP APIs) but didn’t want to own Postfix configs, DNS, deliverability tuning, and queue monitoring. There was no unified place to manage domains, credentials, and webhooks.
OUR SOLUTION
We designed a PHP-based API layer for sending, routing, and tracking messages, with a Next.js dashboard for domains, DNS, API keys, and webhooks. A hardened mail server cluster powers delivery, while Terraform provisions and scales the infrastructure reproducibly across environments and regions.
Domain Onboarding
Days → < 1 hour

ColibriV Digital Platform
ColibriV (internal product)
3 months initial build • ongoing brand work
TECHNOLOGY STACK
Next.js site + Drupal 11 content hub
THE CHALLENGE
ColibriV needed a serious public face for a hydrogen-combustion aircraft program—technology roadmap, certification path, and climate impact—while keeping updates easy for a small team and credible for investors and institutions.
OUR SOLUTION
We used Drupal 11 as the structured content hub for technology pages, roadmaps, and updates, and built a fast, polished Next.js frontend optimized for SEO and storytelling. The site is tuned for investor traffic, with clear flows to learn about the aircraft, the engine program, and funding needs.
