We dare to dream big, and we are not afraid to fail

The projects that taught us the most are the ones that broke first. Here is who we are, what we have run, and who you will actually be talking to.

/studio

Nine years, still shipping

META5 started in 2016 as a handful of engineers taking on work together, and became a company in 2018. Since then we have built enterprise platforms, mobile and web products, IoT systems and custom SaaS tooling for clients across Europe and the US — most of them still with us.

Boring where it counts

Proven data models, explicit boundaries, and infrastructure written down. Save the novelty for the product, not the plumbing.

One team, start to on-call

The people who design it are the people who build it and the people who get paged. Nothing gets thrown over a wall.

Measured, not asserted

Response times, delivery rates and maintenance cost are numbers we track before and after. Every claim on this site is one of them.
