We bring engineering clarity to complex digital products

EU-based product & software engineering team building scalable digital platforms

H-Studio is an EU-based software and product engineering company headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, specializing in scalable backend systems, real-time data platforms, and production-ready digital products. We work with founders and product teams across the United States, United Kingdom, and global markets, delivering senior engineering expertise for startups building MVPs, scale-ups scaling existing platforms, and enterprises requiring high-load systems. Our team of senior engineers focuses on long-term scalability, security-first architecture, and full code ownership — no templates, no vendor lock-in.

Who we work with

We build production systems for fintech companies, SaaS platforms, marketplaces, gaming platforms, and enterprise teams operating in regulated environments. Our clients range from early-stage startups launching their first production-ready version to growing companies scaling existing systems and enterprises requiring high-load infrastructure. We've built systems used by fintechs, marketplaces, and enterprise platforms processing millions of events per day. See our case studies for real examples.

Types of systems we build

We specialize in high-load backend systems, real-time data pipelines, event-driven architectures, scalable web platforms, cross-platform mobile applications, and internal tools. Our custom software developmentcovers complex workflows, business automation, and platform engineering. We also deliver web developmentand mobile app development for production-ready products.

What makes us different

Production systems, not prototypes

  • Experience with systems processing millions of events per second
  • Deep knowledge of data-heavy architectures and streaming systems
  • Practical fintech and security-first engineering background

Long-term scalability

  • Ability to design and deliver long-term, scalable platforms
  • Cross-functional expertise: backend, frontend, analytics, DevOps
  • End-to-end ownership: from architecture to production reliability

How we typically engage

We work in three main engagement models: end-to-end delivery where we take full responsibility for a system from architecture to deployment, co-development where we work alongside internal teams owning specific services or problem areas, and advisory engagements for architecture reviews and migration planning. All projects include clear documentation, predictable delivery cycles, and full code ownership. Learn more about our software development services.
