Integrations & Platform
Database Setup in your repo, with weekly demos.
We focus on Postgres or Supabase schema, migrations, and backup basics. Written scope, your stack, weekly demos. No account-manager layer.
Auth works in dev but database setup. Scope creep is the enemy. We agree on one metric, one cut line, and 5-6 weeks for multi-vendor platform setup. Then we build until that version is signed off.
Billing edge cases (proration, failed payments) matter more than checkout UI.
We won't skip sandbox-to-prod validation for billing events.
Who this is for
- -Teams migrating stacks and need database setup without breaking prod.
- -SaaS founders who need database setup live before sales can close deals.
- -Engineering teams scared to touch billing need database setup done right once.
- -Products expanding to new markets requiring database setup.
Problems we solve
- -Database Setup estimates balloon because acceptance criteria were never written.
- -A previous vendor shipped database setup that broke on edge cases in week two.
- -Your team lacks bandwidth to own database setup while shipping the core product.
- -Integrations around Supabase Auth are fragile and nobody owns on-call.
- -Stakeholders disagree on what "database setup done" means. Until that is defined, nothing ships.
What we deliver
- -Written scope for database setup with explicit in/out of scope
- -Weekly demo, live or recorded, with decisions logged
- -Acceptance checklist signed before production launch
- -Runbook for the failure modes we expect in month one
- -Handoff doc so your team can maintain without us
- -Working implementation in your repo using Supabase Auth and PostHog
How we work
- 1.Align: goals, constraints, and who signs off on database setup
- 2.Cut: smallest version that proves value. Write it down
- 3.Ship: incremental releases with review each week
- 4.Measure: check the metric we agreed on; iterate or close
Why Futurebits
- -Typical window: 5-6 weeks for multi-vendor platform setup, stated in writing before we start.
- -Weekly demos with written decisions, not status decks.
- -Stack-first: we start with Supabase Auth unless the audit says otherwise.
For teams in the UAE and Gulf
Database Setup is available to companies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE. We work in GST (UTC+4), on +971 58 516 5671, and we ship in your repo. A database with backups and a region you can point at in a PDPL conversation. We pick it with you. We write this into scope: reconciliation in the same window as the integration. Travel to Dubai when a room is the faster path. We will not pretend a local brass-plate office is the product.
Frequently asked questions
What does the first week of Database Setup look like?
Access, repo setup, and a written scope draft. No build until you sign off on cut lines and the metric we're targeting.
Do you work with our existing Supabase Auth or PostHog setup?
Yes, when it's sane. We audit first and tell you if something needs replacing. We won't rip out working infra for sport.
What if we already started Database Setup in-house?
We pick up from current state, document what's there, and focus on what's blocking launch. We rewrite only when necessary.
How is Database Setup priced?
Fixed scope for sprints (5-6 weeks for multi-vendor platform setup). Broader work runs as a pod with weekly demos. We quote after a 30-minute scoping call.
What do you need from us to start?
One decision-maker, repo or staging access, and honest constraints (timeline, budget, stack). Existing docs help but aren't required.
Do you take UAE clients for Database Setup?
Yes. Book a call on the +971 line. We scope in English, demo weekly in GST, and leave the work in your repo. A database with backups and a region you can point at in a PDPL conversation. We pick it with you.
