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
We Ship, Then Iterate
Working software beats perfect plans. We get to production fast, then improve based on real usage — not assumptions.
No Surprises
Weekly updates, honest timelines, direct communication. If something is going wrong, you'll know it immediately.
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.
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.
