Productionize prototypes. Modernize old systems.
A governed path from prototypes and legacy workflows to production software in your AWS account.
The people closest to a business problem can now build a useful first version themselves. A finance leader automates an approval chain. An operations team builds a scheduling tool. A subject-matter expert uses AI to turn a spreadsheet and a workflow into an application.
That is valuable innovation. The risk appears when the application becomes important before it has proper sign-in, permissions, data boundaries, an audit trail, resilience, and someone responsible for running it. Functory supplies both the engineering team and the platform underneath: we keep the domain insight, then build the complete production system.
Two routes onto the same foundation.
Productionize an expert-built application
- Turn the prototype into an explicit domain model, access policy, lifecycle, and integration plan.
- Use existing capabilities instead of rebuilding common mechanics.
- Keep the useful workflow and what users learned, while replacing fragile glue, hidden assumptions, and unmanaged data paths.
- Deliver the branded experience and specialized behavior the organization actually needs.
Modernize an existing application
- Start with one bounded workflow instead of betting the operation on a single large rewrite.
- Import existing data through mapped, validated, resumable processes.
- Connect current systems through APIs, events, webhooks, and dedicated extensions.
- Move responsibility across gradually, then retire the duplicated legacy parts once the new path is proven.
What the organization gains.
A governed route for business-led innovation
Subject-matter experts keep finding opportunities, while engineering and security get a defined path from experiment to production.
One stack to operate
Identity, workflows, data, search, events, and monitoring share one architecture instead of being reconciled across vendor consoles.
Control of infrastructure and data
The system runs in your AWS account, which supports cost visibility, security review, and a narrower compliance scope. Architecture alone does not grant a certification, and we will not pretend it does.
Extension without a fork
When configuration is not enough, add events, webhooks, integrations, or your own services alongside the platform.
A real handover path
We can operate the system, or transfer it with source access for the domain work, documentation, runbooks, and training. The underlying platform stays licensed and the deployed system keeps running.
Clear accountability after launch.
Business-led applications often lack an owner once they are live. Under Operate, we take responsibility for support, maintenance, and change management, with a quarterly architecture and cost review written for your security and finance teams. AWS GovCloud and isolated deployments are available where your environment requires them.
Built in from day one
- Monitoring on every request
- Audit trail of every change
- Point-in-time recovery for 35 days
- Controlled releases
- Traffic protection
- Privacy request handling
When we operate it
- On-call cover and incident response
- Platform upgrades, security patches, infrastructure maintenance
- Quarterly architecture and cost review
- Continued feature delivery against your roadmap
- Air-gapped and GovCloud deployment options
- A defined exit, whenever you want to take it in-house
Prefer to run it yourselves? We transfer it with runbooks, documentation, and training, and the system keeps running. How Operate works
An engagement scoped to the outcome.
Discovery
Maps the domain, current systems, controls, data, integrations, target architecture, platform fit, extensions, delivery sequence, and running costs. It ends with written recommendations and a build quote.
Build
Delivers the complete system into your AWS account, from domain model through production deployment.
Operate or transfer
Choose ongoing operations and roadmap delivery, or an orderly move to your own team.
Self Service
For engineering organizations that would rather build on the platform themselves, with the same documentation, tooling, and escape hatches.
Coda
Start with one important workflow.
Bring us the prototype or modernization candidate. We will tell you what the production system requires, which parts Functory already solves, where custom engineering belongs, and whether we are the right team to build it.
