Case studies of completed projects
Stories of how clients and specialists solved tasks on XDBay: the brief, the process, the milestones and the result. Case studies are published with the consent of both sides.
They help you judge not just the outcome but the process too: communication, meeting deadlines and acceptance of the result.
Case study · MVP in 6 weeks
What a case study looks like
Task → process → result, with milestones and acceptance locked in.
Sample case: SaaS platform MVP
Launching the first version of a product is usually split into 5 milestones: discovery, design, backend, frontend and integrations. Payment for each milestone is reserved in escrow.
- a team of several specialists is assembled through XDBay
- terms and acceptance criteria locked in before the start
- progress and decisions kept in the internal chat
- the result accepted milestone by milestone, payouts after acceptance
“Splitting the work into milestones helped keep the budget under control and nothing agreed was lost — it was all in one place.”
Sample case: CI/CD and migration to Kubernetes
When staging and production need to be split and zero-downtime deploys introduced, a DevOps engineer starts by auditing the existing setup, proposes a migration plan and builds the pipeline.
- audit of the infrastructure and secrets
- pipeline built on GitLab CI + Docker
- migration to Kubernetes with no downtime
- monitoring and logging for production
“Transparent milestones and a demo at every step gave confidence in the outcome well before final acceptance.”
Sample case: pentest and remediation
Ahead of a release a client can commission an independent security audit of the web application and the API. The specialist prepares a prioritised report and supports the fixes.
- pentest following the OWASP methodology
- report with priorities and recommendations
- a re-check after the fixes
- an NDA for the duration of the work with private data
A prioritised report helps close the critical risks before the release.
