Engineering from the Core Up

We build the fundamental infrastructure layer that makes everything else possible.

🏗️

System Architecture

Scalable distributed system design for products built to handle millions of users.

  • Microservices / monolith analysis
  • Event-driven design patterns
  • Database sharding strategy
☁️

Cloud Infrastructure

AWS and GCP infrastructure as code — provisioned, monitored, and auto-scaling from day one.

  • Terraform / Pulumi IaC
  • Kubernetes orchestration
  • Cost optimization
🔌

API Engineering

High-performance REST and GraphQL APIs with full documentation, rate limiting, and versioning.

  • OpenAPI specification
  • Rate limiting & caching
  • Auth & permissions
🗄️

Database Design

PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis — schema design, query optimization, and migration strategies.

  • Schema normalization
  • Index optimization
  • Zero-downtime migrations
🚦

CI/CD & DevOps

Automated pipelines that test, build, and deploy your application safely on every commit.

  • GitHub Actions / GitLab CI
  • Staged deployments
  • Rollback automation
🔒

Security Engineering

Penetration testing, OWASP compliance, and zero-trust network architecture for regulated industries.

  • Penetration testing
  • SOC 2 readiness
  • Secrets management

Layered Architecture, Unshakeable Foundation

Every system we build follows proven architectural principles that scale predictably, fail gracefully, and remain maintainable years after launch.

Testimonials

From Engineering Leaders

★★★★★

"CoreBasedOne redesigned our entire backend to handle 10x traffic with the same infra cost. Our p99 latency dropped from 800ms to 40ms."

Marcus Webb
VP Engineering, Stackly
★★★★★

"They architected our entire data platform — Kafka, Spark, Redshift — in 6 weeks. Zero incidents in 8 months of production. Exceptional."

Diana Chen
CTO, Dataloop
★★★★★

"Our SOC 2 audit passed on the first attempt. CoreBasedOne's security work was thorough, well-documented, and genuinely impressive."

Tom Reeves
CTO, Compliance Hub

About CoreBasedOne

18 engineers who believe software quality is built from the ground up, not bolted on at the end.

Our Story

Architecture
Before Everything.

CoreBasedOne was founded in Boston in 2019 by three ex-Google engineers who kept watching promising startups crumble because they'd built their products on shaky foundations.

Our mission: give every engineering team access to the kind of foundational infrastructure that used to only exist at FAANG companies.

Engineering Principles

🏗️ Foundation First

We never take shortcuts on architecture. A solid foundation prevents exponential technical debt later.

📐 Documentation Always

Every system we build is fully documented. Your team will understand it years from now without our help.

🔒 Security by Default

Security isn't a feature we add later. It's baked into every architectural decision from day one.
