About Valhalla Labs

A small, senior engineering team that builds production platforms.

We Build What We'd Want to Use

We started Valhalla Labs because we kept seeing the same problem: companies paying six figures for software that breaks under load, can't scale, or locks them into vendors. We knew we could do better — so we built our own products first to prove it.

Today we maintain 700K+ lines of production code across 12 platforms — from a 28-microservice infrastructure management system to a 5-country accounting suite with ELSTER tax filing. Every system runs in production on our own infrastructure, deployed via our own Docker registry.

How We Work

C

We Ship, Then Iterate

Working software beats perfect plans. We get to production fast, then improve based on real usage — not assumptions.

R

No Surprises

Weekly updates, honest timelines, direct communication. If something is going wrong, you'll know it immediately.

T

Your Code, Your Infrastructure

No vendor lock-in. You own everything we build — the code, the infrastructure, the deployment pipeline. We can walk away and it still runs.

P

Senior Engineers Only

No juniors learning on your project. Every person on your team has shipped production systems with PostgreSQL, Docker, and real-time integrations.

Why Work With Us?

We're a small team by choice. We take on a few projects at a time and give each one our full attention. Every project is led by a senior engineer who has built and operated production platforms.

We're based in Europe, we understand EU regulations (GDPR, ELSTER, SEPA), and we build for the European market. If you need a team that gets German compliance and European data requirements — that's us.

Have a Platform to Build?

Tell us what you're working on. We'll tell you how we'd build it — no pitch deck, no sales call, just engineering.
