  I hired Cheesecake Labs to build a disbursement platform for our humanitarian aid campaign. I was impressed with how the agency managed front- and back-end development using Go, Terraform, and Apache Kafka. Thanks to the agency's work, my company saved time on development, delivered over $2.2 million in aid to Ukrainians, and won awards for our platform. Cheesecake Labs was always available, proactive, productive, and transparent. The agency communicated regularly via Slack, design docs, and stand-up meetings, keeping me informed during our collaboration.

We treat them as members of the team, other than the fact that they’re in Brazil. They have stock options as part of their compensation plan. They are great extended teammates.

  We built our proof of concept mobile app and got it to market to judge its success. After we decided to move forward with it, we reached out to Victor and his team to discuss options. Victor was quick to resource and ramp up development support. His team quickly integrated into our workflow and picked up on the goals and intricacies of this project. Cheesecake always provides a great service. Their developers are knowledgeable and friendly.

  Cheesecake Labs proved to be a resourceful development partner. They successfully delivered the product and are now working on a second version. The team made informed decisions regarding the platform’s UX and the overall project management approach. I learned of Cheesecake Labs through a referral from a friend who had worked with them before. We held a Skype meeting and started working together after that.

  A collaborative approach to coding and project management made CKL an ideal partner for companies with an in-house development team. They met all deadlines and delivered the final product ahead of schedule. They were recommended by colleagues in the Chicago startup community. We interviewed a several different agencies, and based on the recommendations we got and the quality of CKLs past work, we felt that they would be the best value for our money.

  Our client wanted to perform an ICO, so we built a website, smart contracts, security reviews, and security use cases. Cheesecake Labs built the website and the designs that the rest of the project was based on. We integrated admin features, user sign-up processes such as multifactor authentication, and a payment processor. Cheesecake Labs helped build the KYC module structure and made the system privately, so we could customize it for future projects.

  We’re very happy working with them because they’re always very organized and formal. They’re very clear on communication issues. We used Slack to communicate and Google Hangouts for meetings. They’ve met every deadline and I can tell that they’re a really organized agency that is clear an open with their communications. The design quality is great. Sometimes, we assume that good talent is only abroad, but they’ve shown us Silicon Valley-level quality.

They've been very communicative throughout the engagement. They're also supportive and set realistic deadlines, which they either meet or exceed. They've created a beautiful website. Any time a bug or issue pops up, they're incredibly quick to fix them.

  Cheesecake Labs is doing mobile app development for us. We started with a discovery phase and came up with the scope of work and service agreement. They then developed and launched our mobile app for iOS and Android using Flutter. Their biggest strength is their ability to be flexible; their team meets us where we were at and adapts to the tools we use. In addition, they're excellent at teaching us about certain things and best practices since we're new to app development.

  Cheesecake Labs’ talent is impressive. Their resources are all based in Brazil, and working with Brazilian developers has been a new experience for me. Their work ethic has been unmatched. On top of that, they’re highly educated and serve as experts in the field. Currently, we work on a sprint schedule, and that’s how we monitor success. We develop the sprints and then prioritize backlogged items before scheduling our releases. Against this process, the team always hits our release deadlines.

  Everything good that I’ve mentioned about them has been impressive. As a client, when we reach out to companies, we need to know who’s more responsive and organized — the Cheesecake Labs team has been extremely proactive and organized even from the beginning. In fact, before giving us a quote, they’ve already spent time understanding our product. Overall, their proactiveness and general communication skills set them apart from competitors.

  Cheesecake Labs built the software for us from scratch. They created all the backend and connections with Twilio. Their team also developed a frontend where we have tutors and teachers who interact with our students. They developed a communication dashboard where our teachers can interact with the students. They have a senior, skilled team, who developed both the front and backend of our infrastructure as well. Their team is very transparent on billing. It’s a great combination.

  Cheesecake Labs developed the software soup to nuts. I provided light product management, product direction, and customer feedback loops, but they engineered the CRM system. Their clear communication is one of their standout qualities. Their team brings the strongest engineering resources to bear. They have good process discipline in a way that isn’t there to only churn out billable hours. Cheesecake’s an excellent option for anyone considering outsourced development.

  In my experience, we can hire two types of developers: ones that intake an issue ticket and process that feature or bug, or others that take the time to understand the product or the user profile and try to become thought partners in the development. I would classify Cheesecake Labs in the latter category. They never fail to find quality talent when we need to add a developer or adjust our development needs. They have proven to be skilled recruiters and managers.

  I worked with Cheesecake Labs previously, and I had a great experience. They're very proactive and solutions-oriented. If they see something that can be improved in our iOS app, they'll let us know (even though they're not working on the iOS app directly). They're always suggesting better ways to implement the architecture rather than just doing what they're told. This is exactly what we're looking for in our partners, and we haven't seen that in many outsourced companies.
