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.

01 / STUDIO

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.

02 / WHAT WE DO

How we help.

Headline capabilityAI integration · platform engineering

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.

Engineering leadership

Why teams hire usFor teams scaling from 5→25 engineers, restructuring around squads, or stuck with a leader-shaped hole.

What we doHands-on tech leadership without the politics. Setting direction, removing blockers, hiring well, protecting focus. Available as fractional EM, technical advisor, or short-term parachute.

OutcomeClear priorities, fewer process meetings, code that ships predictably. Engineers stay; founders sleep.

Mobile SDK strategy

Why teams hire usMost mobile SDK problems aren't mobile problems — they're release, parity, and distribution problems.

What we doAPI parity across iOS / Android / Flutter / React Native. Unified release pipelines (CocoaPods, Gradle, pub.dev, npm). Version-matrix discipline so customer integrations stop drifting.

OutcomeOne SDK story across four platforms. Releases that go out predictably instead of being events.

DevOps & reliability

Why teams hire usWhen deploys are scary, dashboards lie, or oncall is a punishment.

What we doPipelines you'd want inherited. Observability that tells you what's actually wrong. K8s and ArgoCD without the YAML tears. Cost-aware infra decisions.

OutcomeConfidence to deploy on a Friday. Pages that mean something. Cloud bills you can defend.

03 / LIVE WORK

Recent builds, not just pitches.

Click through — these are running deployments, not mockups.

AIRCC Portal

Bilingual (Hebrew/English) portal rebuild for a subsidized-GPU research grant program.

Replaced a static, English-only, admin-less site with a fully admin-managed platform: every page is editable with full version history and one-click rollback, a GPU cost calculator quotes real subsidized pricing before applicants commit, and a communication center handles announcements and digests — the kind of self-serve content and comms layer that turns a one-off site into something a non-technical program team can actually run.

Flagscope

Multi-provider feature-flag debt scanner with one-click cleanup PRs.

Connects LaunchDarkly, Flagsmith, Statsig, and Unleash; finds stale and ownerless flags before they rot into incidents, and opens the cleanup PR automatically instead of leaving it as a backlog ticket nobody picks up.

Chan True Dream

Bilingual crochet-guide storefront with a full admin CMS, shipped in a day.

A solo crochet instructor needed a real storefront for her free and paid pattern guides — bilingual (Hebrew/English, full RTL) — with no engineer on call to run it. Built a Postgres-backed CMS with full edit history and one-click revert: she updates text, images, guide links, and contact info herself, from a browser. Zero monthly cost on Vercel + Neon + Blob free tiers.

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.

Flagscope

Kill flag debt. Multi-provider feature flag governance.

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