Can your full-stack team work with our existing codebase?

Yes. We start with an architecture audit of your frontend, backend, and database layers. Then we integrate with your existing CI/CD, coding standards, and deployment process. Most teams are productive within the first week.

How fast can you ship an MVP?

A typical MVP takes 8-12 weeks from kickoff to launch. This includes frontend, backend, database, authentication, and deployment. Complex products with payments, real-time features, or third-party integrations take 12-16 weeks.

TypeScript everywhere - is that necessary?

We strongly recommend it. Shared types between frontend and backend catch integration bugs at compile time, not in production. A shared Prisma schema generates types used by both the API and the UI. The result: fewer runtime errors and faster development once the types are in place.

Do you handle DevOps and infrastructure too?

Yes. Full-stack includes infrastructure. We set up Docker containers, CI/CD pipelines, staging environments, monitoring, and production deployment. Most projects use AWS or Vercel depending on complexity and cost requirements.

Overview

Why Full-Stack?

1Raft provides full-stack development teams that build complete web applications from frontend to database using React, Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. With 50+ products shipped end-to-end, 1Raft engineers eliminate the handoff gaps between frontend and backend teams, delivering MVPs in 8-12 weeks.

Full-stack means one team owns the entire product. Our engineers write the React components, build the API endpoints, design the database schema, and configure the deployment pipeline. No handoff documents between frontend and backend teams. No waiting for the other side to finish.

We default to a TypeScript-everywhere stack: React or Next.js on the frontend, Node.js with NestJS on the backend, PostgreSQL for structured data, Redis for caching, and Docker for consistent environments. This shared language across the stack means any engineer can debug any layer.

Our full-stack teams have shipped SaaS MVPs that reached paying customers in 10 weeks, marketplace platforms handling 100,000+ transactions monthly, and internal tools that replaced 5 disconnected spreadsheets with a single application. We move fast because there is zero coordination tax between layers.

Process

How the engagement works

Week 1

Product scope and system design

Define the data model, API contracts, page structure, and infrastructure plan. Output: a technical spec covering frontend, backend, database, and deployment - all in one document.

Weeks 2-3

End-to-end scaffold

Set up the monorepo, database schema, auth flow, CI/CD pipeline, and the first working feature sliced vertically from UI to database. Deployed to a staging URL you can test.

Weeks 4-10

Vertical feature delivery

Two-week sprints delivering complete features: UI, API, database, and tests. Each feature is deployed and demo-ready. No half-built backend endpoints waiting for a frontend.

Weeks 11-12

Production hardening and launch

Performance audit, security review, load testing, monitoring setup, and production deployment. Full documentation covering architecture decisions, runbooks, and onboarding guides.

Use Cases

Real-world Full-Stack projects

SaaS MVP built end-to-end for a startup

Built a project management SaaS from scratch: React dashboard, NestJS API, PostgreSQL database, Stripe billing, and role-based access control. Single full-stack team owned every layer. → First paying customer in 10 weeks. 200+ teams onboarded within 3 months. Infrastructure cost: $180/month at launch scale.

Marketplace platform for a services company

Two-sided marketplace with provider profiles, booking flow, payment escrow, reviews, and admin dashboard. React frontend, Node.js backend, PostgreSQL with full-text search. → Processing 8,000+ bookings monthly within 6 months of launch. Provider onboarding time: 4 minutes. Payment dispute rate below 0.3%.

Internal tool replacing legacy spreadsheets

Consolidated 5 disconnected spreadsheets into a single full-stack application. React forms, Node.js validation and business rules, PostgreSQL for audit trails, and automated reporting. → Data entry time reduced 70%. Reporting that took 2 days now generates in 30 seconds. Error rate dropped from 8% to under 0.5%.

Frequently asked questions

Every engineer on the team works across the entire stack: React frontend, Node.js backend, database, and infrastructure. There are no frontend-only or backend-only engineers. This eliminates the coordination overhead that slows down most product teams.
