DB Studio

Engineering, AI,
and load-bearing software.

DB Studio is a small software studio founded by David Biton — senior engineering manager, AI-tools builder, and the architect behind ten years of production systems. We take on a small number of load-bearing engagements at a time.

What we do.

DB Studio is a small software studio founded by David Biton, a senior engineering manager with ten years building production systems in high-trust, regulated environments where downtime and bad data both cost real money.

We work at the intersection of AI, backend platforms, and engineering leadership — designing AI workflows that actually fit your codebase, architecting systems that compound instead of corrode, and helping teams ship faster without burning out.

We take on load-bearingwork — AI strategy, fractional engineering management, backend architecture, mobile SDK direction. We don't do logo-only consulting, and we don't take on projects we can't move.

Lead

We run engineering teams that ship — setting technical direction, removing blockers, hiring well, and protecting focus. Available as fractional EM, technical advisor, or short-term parachute.

Automate

We help teams adopt AI as real engineering leverage — custom Claude Code workspaces, automated PR review pipelines, agent design. Workshop-paced, owned by your team afterward.

Architect

Hands-on where it matters: backend microservices, event-driven systems, mobile SDK strategy, developer platforms. The unglamorous work that decides whether next year goes smoothly or painfully.

How we help.

AI Engineering — adoption, automation, and serious tooling

Why teams hire us here

Teams adopting Claude / LLMs land in one of two ditches: "AI as gimmick" (chat widget, no leverage) or "AI as risk" (autonomous agents nobody trusts). We help teams skip both.

What we actually do

We design AI workflows that actually fit your codebase — custom Claude Code workspaces, automated PR review with rule-aware prompts, MCP integrations, agent design for specific repeatable tasks. Workshop-paced, shipped working, owned by your team afterward.

Outcome

Senior engineers stop reviewing style. Reviews get faster. Onboarding gets shorter. AI becomes a teammate, not a demo.

Backend & platform engineering

Why teams hire usWhen the system is harder to change than it should be, or you're afraid to touch the orchestration layer.

What we doMicroservices and event-driven design. Internal developer platforms. Multi-tenant SaaS plumbing. The unglamorous stuff that decides whether next year is smooth or painful.

OutcomeArchitecture that compounds instead of corroding. Teams move faster without burning the place down.

03 / LIVE WORK

Recent builds, not just pitches.

Click through — these are running deployments, not mockups.

04 / STUDIO

What we're shipping.

In parallel with client work, DB Studio is building a small portfolio of focused products — primarily in AI tooling and engineering productivity. Flagscope is the first one live — collecting waitlist signups now.

Live · WaitlistEngineering productivity

Flagscope

Kill flag debt. Multi-provider feature flag governance.

Connects to LaunchDarkly, Flagsmith, Statsig, Unleash, GrowthBook, and ConfigCat. Finds stale flags, ownerless flags, dead branches. Opens the cleanup PR for you. Landing live; beta opens early 2026.

DevHub

One dashboard for repos, PRs, and sprints — AI-native, self-hostable.

Self-hostable engineering dashboard that unifies GitHub or Azure DevOps repos, PRs, and sprints into one pane of glass, with AI grounded in your real delivery data. Backstage-level control without the six-month build. Landing page live — product build is next.

AI Coach

Always-on AI reviewer for your team.

Drops into any GitHub PR and gives sharp, context-aware feedback. Learns your repo's conventions so it stops nagging about style and starts flagging real risk.

Pulse

Engineering insights that don't make people defensive.

Sprint velocity, review latency, on-time delivery — surfaced as actionable nudges, not vanity metrics. Built for the EMs and tech leads who actually have to act on them.

Skillshop

A marketplace of opinionated Claude skills.

Curated, battle-tested Claude Code skills and agents. Install, run, ship. No more rebuilding the same review / planning / postmortem prompts from scratch.

07 / HOW WE WORK

From first call to shipped work.

Quick call

20–30 minutes. What you're building, what's blocking it, whether this is a fit — no deck, no pitch.

Scoped proposal

Clear deliverables, timeline, and cost before anything starts. No open-ended retainers you can't reason about.

Engagement starts

Embedded with your team or async, whichever fits. Direct access, no account-manager layer.

Ship, with visibility

Regular check-ins against the plan. You always know what's shipped and what's next — no surprise bills.

08 / CONTACT

Have something load-bearing to build?
