We implement the system you have, or build the one you need
TheLunarEngine is a software company that automates systems. We implement the software you already run, or set up a new system from scratch, so work moves from request to decision to completion.
Two routes into the work
The route is where we begin. Either one can fit any engagement tier when the scope fits.
Implement an existing system
How we move
Map users, records, handoffs, and failure points
Review access and integration limits with IT and security
Configure ownership, statuses, and permissions
Connect APIs and webhooks, migrate agreed data, test, and phase the launch
Signs this is your route
Approvals live in email
The same record is entered in several tools
Configuration is unused or integration failures are invisible
Deliverables to scope
A process and integration map, configured system, working adapters and automations, tested migration where needed, and operating notes.
Full setup
How we move
Map decisions, roles, exceptions, and success criteria
Define architecture, access, API resources, and data model
Build workflow rules and interfaces in working slices
Connect sources early, test edge cases, and roll out by team
Signs this is your route
Teams handle one case in incompatible tools
Decisions are hard to trace
A shared workspace or mobile flow is needed
Deliverables to scope
Architecture and data model, workflow services and APIs, scoped web or mobile interfaces, integrations, tests, and a rollout and support plan.
Systems to integrate and the quality of their APIs
Data migration from existing tools
Security, audit, and data-residency requirements
Web only, or web plus iOS and Android
Expected support level after launch
Ship, watch, and protect
A system is only as good as its release path and how fast someone knows it is failing. Every system we hand over comes with these practices, using the platforms that fit your stack.
Pushing to production
Every change gets a Vercel preview your team can try before it ships; production releases are promoted, not rebuilt, and roll back in one step.
Preview deployment per change
Reviewed promotion to production
Instant rollback
Secrets kept out of code
Alerts and API health
Sentry watches errors, slow endpoints, and scheduled jobs, ties each issue to the release that caused it, and alerts the owner.
Error and performance monitoring
Uptime checks on key API endpoints
Alerts routed to an owner
Issues linked to releases
Keeping the system secure
Access is enforced in the data layer with PostgreSQL row-level security (managed on Supabase when it fits), behind a validated, rate-limited API.
Least-privilege keys and roles
Input validation and rate limits
Dependency and secret rotation
Audit trail on every change
Announcing changes
Release notes on Substack keep stakeholders informed, so a change is announced before anyone stumbles on it.
Release notes per version
Known issues and workarounds
What is coming next
No system can promise to be immune to attack. We reduce the attack surface, detect problems early, and make recovery routine. See how we design alerts.
Common questions
Can you work with software we already selected?
Yes. We map the process, review what its APIs and permissions support, configure it, and build the connections and operating notes around it.
What happens when an integration fails?
We design for retries, duplicate events, visible permanent failures, alerts, and a recovery owner. The exact controls depend on the source system.
Can we start with one workflow?
Yes. A focused scope proves the handoffs and data model before a broader rollout.
Who owns the system afterwards?
You do. We hand over the code or configuration, documentation, and runbooks, and agree a support plan if you want us to keep running it with you.
