Sheet I-01 / Applications and APIs

The front door to your data and agents.

We build the applications and APIs that put your data and your agents in people's hands: Django and FastAPI behind, Nuxt in front. Sometimes a control plane for the people accountable, sometimes simply the way in for a customer, a colleague or another system.

Sec. 01 / The last mile

The data is right, the agent works, and still nobody can use it.

Insight stays in a notebook. The agent can only be reached by the people who built it. Partners ask for a file export because there is no API. Whoever is accountable has no screen that shows what the system did. The value exists behind a wall with no door in it. We build the door: an application for people, an API for systems, a control plane for the person who signs off.

Convenience, when the arrangement of the apartments is faultless and presents no hindrance to use.

Sec. 02 / How we help

Screens for people, APIs for systems.

Application development

Web applications your people use every day: a Django backend, a Nuxt front end, built on your data platform and your agents rather than beside them. Role-based access, an audit trail, your own login, and a design your team is proud to put in front of a customer.

API engineering

FastAPI services that give other systems and partners controlled access to your data and your agents: documented, versioned, secured and fast. The contract other teams can build on without calling you first.

Control planes for agents

The screen where an accountable person watches agents work: what ran, what it decided, what is waiting for approval, what to switch off. Built as a product your operations team opens every morning, not as a log file.

Integration and modernisation

Replace the spreadsheet front end, the shared inbox and the manual hand-off with an application that owns the workflow, connected to your ERP, CRM and identity provider. The old tool is retired, not wrapped.

Sec. 03 / How we work

Drawn, framed, hung.

01 / Blueprint

Specify

Screens and endpoints on paper first: who does what, what they see, what the API returns. Agreed with the people who will use it, before any code.

02 / Frame

Build

Django or FastAPI behind, Nuxt in front, your identity provider for login, your data and agents underneath. Delivered in short increments you can click through.

03 / Portal

Ship and run

Deployed in your cloud, monitored, documented and handed over to your team. Maintained for as long as you want us to.

Sec. 04 / Why datalyft

Interfaces built by the people who built what is behind them.

On what you already have.

Applications and APIs sit on your data platform and your agents, with one login and one source of truth, instead of becoming another island with its own copy of the data.

Production-grade from day one.

Authentication, permissions, audit trail, monitoring and tests are part of the first release, not of a later phase. What ships is something your security team can review.

Capability that stays with your team.

Plain Django, FastAPI and Nuxt, no framework of our own. Any developer you hire can read it, and the documentation and hand-over come with it.

Where would a better interface make a difference?

A 30-minute conversation about the application or API you have in mind: who it is for, what sits behind it, and what a sensible first release looks like. No obligation.
