Case study · Positron Networks · Project Robbie

A greenfield MVP for scientific computing on the cloud.

Positron Networks, a funded stealth startup, needed a high-performance scientific computing and machine learning platform built from nothing to beta on an investor timeline. We supplied the team, the cloud and the delivery discipline to get there.

Positron specializes in scientific computing and machine learning cloud infrastructure. They had funding, a vision and a deadline: an MVP strong enough to secure further investment and carry a successful beta launch. What they needed was a partner with depth in modern software development and DevOps who could move at startup speed.

The platform had to integrate machine-learning models, scientific computing algorithms and cloud infrastructure into one seamless user experience, and it had to be scalable from day one with continuous delivery of new features.

Our UI/UX, software development, DevOps and quality assurance teams worked alongside Positron to execute a full product development strategy from the ground up.

Challenges

Speed, complexity and scale, all non-negotiable.

Accelerating time to market

The MVP had to land on a tight schedule to secure additional investor interest and support.

Complexity of the platform

Seamless integration of ML models, scientific computing algorithms and cloud infrastructure demanded expertise across several domains at once.

Scalable from day one

Robust infrastructure and continuous delivery had to be in place before the first users arrived, not after.

What we did

Agile delivery on a multi-cloud foundation.

Agile development process

Complex requirements were broken into manageable sprints, keeping the MVP on schedule while maintaining high-quality code.

Custom multi-cloud infrastructure

A scalable cloud architecture on AWS that pivoted mid-project to also run workloads on the Massachusetts Open Cloud. Full infrastructure as code across AWS EKS, IAM, S3, RDS and Red Hat OpenShift delivered a multi-cloud solution that kept pace with evolving startup requirements.

DevOps automation

CI/CD pipelines automating testing, integration and deployment, cutting the time to ship new features and letting Positron respond quickly to customer feedback.

Full-stack product build

A React and Node.js SaaS interface and backend over Python-based scientific computing workloads, orchestrated on Kubernetes and OpenShift.

Outcomes

Launched on time, funded for what comes next.

MVP delivered on schedule

A high-performance scientific computing and ML platform developed and launched on the timeline the business required.

Investor confidence secured

The launch supported Positron’s fundraising and prepared the company for future growth.

Multi-cloud from the start

Infrastructure as code across AWS and OpenShift, ready to scale with demand.

Rapid iteration

Automated pipelines shortened the path from customer feedback to shipped feature.
