SERVICES • DENVER-BASED WEB & APP WORKSHOP

A focused set of services around serious Drupal, PHP, JS, Python, and Go products.

ColibriCode is a senior-heavy engineering workshop based in Denver, USA. We help teams build and maintain platforms where performance, reliability, and long-term ownership matter more than quick demos.

Most of our work happens inside a stack your team already knows: Drupal, Symfony, Laravel, React/Next.js, Python, Go, and the DevOps that keeps everything running in production.

WHAT WE TEND TO OWN

Platforms: Drupal, PHP backends, Next.js frontends, Python/Go workers.
Critical paths: auth, onboarding, payments, content pipelines, internal tooling.
Operational glue: CI/CD, observability, runbooks, and incident reduction.

We're not trying to do everything. We go deep on a small set of technologies and say “no” when something is outside our lane.

SERVICE AREAS

The places we add the most leverage.

Whether you bring us a single problematic subsystem or an entire platform, we tend to work inside these six areas, often combining several of them into one engagement.

Drupal Engineering

CMS

Modern Drupal for serious content platforms.

We treat Drupal as an application framework, not just a CMS. From custom modules and distributions to decoupled builds, we make Drupal a stable foundation for complex content, permissions, and integrations.

TYPICAL OUTCOMES

Faster page loads and more stable editing experience.
Clean upgrade path from legacy Drupal (7/8) to Drupal 10+.
Tighter alignment between content modeling and business rules.

TYPICAL TOOLBOX

Drupal 9/10/11Custom modules & distributionsHeadless/decoupled architecturesMigrations (Migrate API)Caching (Redis/Varnish/CDN)

Symfony & Laravel Backends

PHP

Business logic, not just boilerplate controllers.

We build and maintain backends where data modeling, workflows, and performance matter. Think multi-tenant SaaS, admin consoles, and APIs that real products depend on every day.

TYPICAL OUTCOMES

Well-structured domain logic instead of controllers doing everything.
Clear separation between read/write paths and external integrations.
APIs that are pleasant for front-end teams to consume.

TYPICAL TOOLBOX

Symfony & LaravelREST & GraphQL APIsMulti-tenant SaaS patternsQueues & workers (Redis, SQS, etc.)Auth, ACL, and audit trails

Web Applications (React / Next.js)

WEB

Interfaces that feel fast, predictable, and trustworthy.

We design and build web apps where UX, accessibility, and performance matter: dashboards, portals, internal tools, and customer-facing products built on React and Next.js.

TYPICAL OUTCOMES

Interfaces that stay fast even as your data and users grow.
Design systems and components your team can reuse safely.
SSR/ISR strategies that keep SEO and performance aligned.

TYPICAL TOOLBOX

React & Next.jsDesign systems / component librariesSSR/ISR and routingForm-heavy UX and dashboardsIntegration with existing APIs

Mobile Apps

APP

Cross-platform apps glued to a solid backend.

We ship mobile apps that share a backbone with your web or backend stack. One consistent source of truth, instrumented and observable, for iOS and Android users.

TYPICAL OUTCOMES

Unified APIs across web and mobile clients.
Offline-first flows for unreliable networks.
Consistent analytics and event tracking across devices.

TYPICAL TOOLBOX

React Native / cross-platform stacksAPI design for mobile clientsPush notifications and messagingOffline sync strategiesApp store deployment pipelines

Python & Go Services

DATA

Jobs, microservices, and data flows that actually hold up.

We add Python and Go where they fit best: data processing, workers, and high-throughput services. We care about observability, retries, and backpressure—not just ‘it works on my machine’.

TYPICAL OUTCOMES

Background jobs with clear SLAs and failure modes.
Streaming and batch pipelines that are debuggable.
Services that scale predictably as traffic grows.

TYPICAL TOOLBOX

Python workers & scriptsGo microservices and APIsEvent-driven architecturesStreaming and batch pipelinesInstrumentation & tracing

DevOps, CI/CD & Observability

OPS

From ‘it runs on my laptop’ to repeatable, safe releases.

We help teams mature their delivery pipeline: reproducible environments, safe deploys, and visibility into what production is doing—without turning everything into a science project.

TYPICAL OUTCOMES

One-click or one-command deploys instead of manual checklists.
Infrastructure that can be explained and evolved by your team.
Monitoring and alerts tied to business health, not just CPU.

TYPICAL TOOLBOX

CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)Containers & orchestrationInfra-as-codeMetrics, logs, and tracingSecurity hardening and access control

FIT & FOCUS

Who we’re usually a strong fit for.

We work best with teams that already feel the weight of their product: users, revenue, incidents, and a roadmap that can’t slow down. If this sounds like you, we’ll probably get along.

Digital teams with a growing backlog

You have more ideas than senior engineering time.
You need to ship meaningful slices without derailing your roadmap.
You want partners who can own outcomes, not just tickets.

Product companies with legacy platforms

Core revenue still runs on Drupal or PHP backends that feel fragile.
Releases are scary and incidents are too frequent.
You want evolution, not a risky ‘throw everything away’ rewrite.

Startups with real traction

You already have users and revenue, and the stack is showing cracks.
You want help formalizing APIs, workers, and observability.
You care about long-term maintainability, not one-off hacks.

HOW WE SLICE WORK

We prefer thin, high-impact slices over vague “ongoing help”.

Instead of a giant, fuzzy scope, we cut the work into clear slices that ship value on their own. Each slice can live in Drupal, PHP, JS, Python/Go, or the DevOps layer—and usually touches more than one.

Platform modernization

Upgrade legacy Drupal/PHP systems, extract services into Symfony/Laravel/Python/Go, and improve deployments and observability without a risky ‘big bang’ rewrite.

We design slices to be reversible, observable, and easy to hand over to your internal team once the path is proven.

New product or feature line

Design and build a new product slice using Next.js, Python/Go services, and a Drupal or PHP-based admin backbone.

We design slices to be reversible, observable, and easy to hand over to your internal team once the path is proven.

Performance & reliability pass

Target slow pages, noisy incidents, and fragile release pipelines, then fix them in a measured, test-backed way.

We design slices to be reversible, observable, and easy to hand over to your internal team once the path is proven.

INDUSTRIES & USE CASES

Where our stack tends to shine.

B2B SaaS & Platforms

Customer dashboards on Next.js with PHP/Go APIs.
Multi-tenant admin consoles backed by Symfony or Laravel.
Billing and subscription workflows integrated with Stripe and CRM tools.

Content-heavy & media

Publishing platforms on Drupal 10/11 with headless frontends.
Content pipelines that blend editorial work with automation.
High-traffic landing pages with strong SEO and performance budgets.

Fintech & transactional systems

Payment and payout flows with strong audit and observability.
Real-time notifications powered by Python/Go workers.
Fraud and risk signals surfaced to internal tools and dashboards.

Internal tools & ops

Ops dashboards that unify data from multiple backends.
Case management tools replacing shared spreadsheets.
Workflow engines that glue together SaaS tools and custom logic.

If your industry isn’t listed here but your stack looks familiar—Drupal, PHP, React/Next.js, Python, Go, and a modern cloud—there’s a good chance we can help.

WHAT YOU GET

Concrete deliverables, not just “consulting hours”.

Architecture & implementation

We don’t stop at diagrams. We write the code, tests, and infrastructure to make the architecture real.

Playbooks & documentation

Runbooks, handover docs, and decision records so your team can operate and extend what we built.

Onboarding support

We help internal engineers get comfortable with new systems via pairing sessions and guided tours.

Instrumentation & dashboards

Metrics and logs wired into dashboards so you can see how your stack behaves under real traffic.

HOW WE COLLABORATE

What it’s like to work with ColibriCode.

We slot into your team as an embedded workshop: a small group of senior engineers focused on outcomes, communication, and leaving your stack in better shape than we found it.

Clear communication

Short written updates, honest trade-offs, and a bias toward clarity over jargon. We want product, design, and engineering to stay on the same page.

Simple rituals

We fit into your standups, planning, and reviews—or help you create lightweight ones if you don’t have them yet. No heavy processes unless they earn their keep.

Code you can own

We write code, docs, and tests so your internal team can take over comfortably. Our goal is to make ourselves less necessary over time, not more.

Production-first mindset

We instrument what we build, wire it into your monitoring stack, and define basic SLOs so you’re never flying blind once it hits real traffic.

We’re happy to work in your tools—Jira, Linear, GitHub, GitLab—as long as there’s a single source of truth and someone responsible for priorities.

TALK ABOUT SERVICES

Unsure which service area matches your current pain? That’s normal.

Send us a brief description of where things hurt today—slow Drupal pages, shaky releases, missing observability, a React app that’s grown wild, or Python/Go workers failing silently. We'll map that pain to a concrete service area and a small starting slice.
