Software development · Pula, Croatia
Not a sprint-shop that disappears at handover. Tuatara takes a system from architecture through to the years of DevOps and maintenance that decide whether it was worth building at all.
Services
Most software fails after launch, not before it. These four pieces are quoted and staffed as one job.
01 — Architecture
Data model, service boundaries, hosting and failure modes decided before the first sprint — because these are the decisions that are expensive to reverse and cheap to get right at the start.
02 — Engineering
Web products, internal tools, APIs and integrations. Elixir and Phoenix LiveView where a product has to feel instant, Python where the work is data-shaped, PostgreSQL underneath.
03 — DevOps
Containerised builds, a reverse proxy that handles its own certificates, monitoring and log aggregation, and a deploy that is one command rather than a page of tribal knowledge.
04 — Support & maintenance
Dependency and security updates, capacity as you grow, and small changes handled without renegotiating a contract every time. The unglamorous part that keeps a system alive.
How we build
Everything we advise a client to self-host, we already operate ourselves.
We run our own GitLab at gitlab.tuatara.hr. Your repository, your pipelines, your artefacts — not rented from a platform that can change its pricing or its terms next quarter.
Work lands behind a real URL early and often, so review happens against a running system instead of a document. It also means the deployment path is proven long before launch day.
We use AI tooling heavily for the volume — implementations, migrations, translations, test passes — and we verify the output rather than trusting it. Speed comes from the checking being automated too.
Servers, domains, repositories and data stay in your name. Handover is a conversation, not a migration project, because there is nothing proprietary to untangle.
Work
Both are Elixir/Phoenix systems in production, multilingual, with payments or enquiry flows attached.
A learning-management platform for a three-level programme on blockchain and MiCA regulation: structured modules with learning outcomes and quizzes, enrolment and checkout, published in eleven languages.

A charter business end to end: a seven-language Phoenix LiveView site with schedule and enquiry flows, a customer portal, tracked print campaigns, and a self-hosted back office for CRM and recruitment.
tuatarasailing.com ↗Both are our own ventures. That is deliberate: we would rather show systems we have had to live with for years than a gallery of launches we never had to maintain.

A couple of paragraphs about the problem is more useful to us than a specification. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
