Hire full-stack developers
One developer from the database to the screen.
Acasa Labs is a small software team in Surat, India. You can hire a full-stack developer from the team that built NoteTube, GymFast, Kraftr, and Pullsy end to end: Postgres, a FastAPI, Supabase, or TypeScript backend, a Next.js web app, and often a mobile app on the same API. A senior reviews every pull request, and you start with a trial week.
Trial week first. You own the code.
The problem
A frontend developer, a backend developer, and a gap between them.
Small teams lose weeks to handoffs: the API is ready but not what the screen needs, the screen is ready but the API is not, and nobody owns the bug that sits between them. A full-stack developer closes that gap. But "full stack" on a CV often means strong on one side and guessing on the other. You need someone who has shipped both sides of products people pay for.
The role
What your full-stack developer does
- 01
Ships features end to end
The migration, the endpoint, the screen, and the test, in one pull request, so a feature is done when it is merged.
- 02
Picks the backend that fits
FastAPI for AI and data work, Next.js server code or Node for product logic, Supabase when the client can talk to Postgres directly.
- 03
Handles payments and accounts
Auth, roles, Stripe, Razorpay, or RevenueCat billing, and the webhooks that keep them in agreement with your database.
- 04
Runs what they build
Queues, scheduled jobs, deploys, and the logs and alerts to know when something breaks.
From production
Full-stack work behind the people you would hire.
One product on five surfaces
NoteTubeNoteTube is a Next.js web app, an Expo app, a Chrome extension, and a remote MCP server on Cloudflare Workers, with a FastAPI AI service, Qdrant, Supabase Postgres, Redis, and Stripe Connect payouts for creators.
A platform and three apps
GymFastGymFast's Next.js dashboard and three Expo apps run on Supabase Postgres with row-level security, scheduled edge functions, and RevenueCat, in one Turborepo monorepo.
A TypeScript stack with seven queues
KraftrKraftr runs on Next.js, Drizzle over Postgres, and seven BullMQ queues on Redis, with pluggable generation and storage providers and billing in six currencies through Razorpay.
Web, iOS, and an API on one backend
PullsyPullsy's Next.js web app, SwiftUI iOS app, and developer REST API share a FastAPI and SQLAlchemy backend, with an entitlement service enforced down to a database constraint.
Who you get
One developer, and a senior behind them.
We are a small team, not a bench of hundreds. You get a developer who worked on the systems above, and a senior engineer who reviews every pull request before it reaches you. You talk to the developer before you sign, and the trial week shows you how they work in your codebase.
Full-stack skills you can expect
- TypeScript, Python
- Next.js, React, React Native
- FastAPI, Node, Supabase
- Postgres, Drizzle, SQLAlchemy
- Redis, BullMQ, job queues
- Stripe, Razorpay, RevenueCat
- Docker, Cloud Run, Cloudflare
How it starts
A trial week, then your rhythm.
Before day one
A call about the product and its stack. We match you with the developer whose system is closest to yours, and you meet them before anything is signed.
Trial week
The whole stack running locally, one real ticket that touches both sides, and a reviewed pull request by the end of the week.
Weeks 2 to 4
Features end to end from your backlog, with a short written note each day on what moved and what is blocked.
Every month
A review of what shipped and of where the stack is slowing the team, with what we would change first.
Risk-free first week: one developer on one defined task. Continue and the week is billed at the normal rate. Stop within the week and you pay nothing.
Engagement models
Three ways to work with a Full-stack developer.
Dedicated developer
Full time on your product, about 160 hours a month
An ongoing roadmap and a backlog that will not run out
$1,500–2,000 a month
Part-time developer
Half time, about 80 hours a month, on fixed days
A product that is live and needs steady work, not a sprint
$750–1,000 a month
Fixed scope
A defined piece of work, priced before we start
A feature, a migration, or an MVP with a clear finish line
From $1,500, priced per scope
Time zones
How your day overlaps with ours.
We set our working day around yours, with at least 4 hours of overlap every working day, including a daily call for US clients in their morning. India is on UTC+5:30 with no daylight saving. Here is what that means from where you are.
UAE
Dubai
Your 08:30–17:30 is our 10:00–19:00
IST is 1 h 30 min ahead
Your whole working day
Work like a team in the next building. Calls any time in your day.
UK
London
Your 09:00–13:00 is our 14:30–18:30 (13:30–17:30 in summer), longer on request
IST is 5 h 30 min ahead (4 h 30 min in British Summer Time)
At least 4 hours
Standup at the start of your day, pairing until your lunch, a written update before you log off.
Australia
Sydney
Your 13:00–17:00 is our 08:30–12:30 (07:30–11:30 in summer)
IST is 4 h 30 min behind (5 h 30 min in Australian summer)
At least 4 hours
We start early so your afternoon is shared. The work lands before your next morning.
US East
New York
Your 08:00–12:00 is our 18:30–22:30 (17:30–21:30 in summer)
IST is 10 h 30 min ahead (9 h 30 min in US summer)
At least 4 hours, with a call every working day
A call at the start of your day, and a pull request waiting each morning that was built while you slept.
US West
San Francisco
Your 08:00–12:00 is our 21:30–01:30 (20:30–00:30 in summer)
IST is 13 h 30 min ahead (12 h 30 min in US summer)
At least 4 hours, with a call every working day
We shift late for your morning: a daily call, then the work continues through your afternoon.
Ownership
You own the code.
- Repositories sit in your GitHub or GitLab organization from the first commit.
- Cloud accounts and credentials are yours; we work with access you grant and can revoke.
- If you stop, nothing is held back: the code, the docs, and the deploy steps stay with you.
Honest trade-offs
When you should not hire a full-stack developer from us
If one side of your product is very deep, such as a low-latency engine or a large retrieval system, a specialist on that side will serve you better. If your stack is PHP, Ruby, Java, or .NET, hire someone who works in it every day; ours is TypeScript and Python. And if you need a team of ten next month, we are the wrong size.

Questions
Before you hire a Full-stack developer.
Which stack do your full-stack developers use?
TypeScript and Python: Next.js and React on the front, FastAPI, Node, or Supabase behind, and Postgres underneath. We work in your stack if it is one of those.
Can one developer really cover our whole product?
For a small or mid-size product, often yes. When one part grows deep, such as AI retrieval, a second engineer with that experience joins for the design.
Can they work on our mobile app too?
If it is React Native, yes. GymFast's dashboard and apps were built by the same team on one API.
Can they take over a product another team built?
Yes. The first week goes into running it end to end and writing down what they find before changing anything outside the ticket.
How do we stay in control of the work?
Everything happens in your repository, your tracker, and your standup. A senior from our team reviews each pull request, and you approve every merge.
