Launch MVP in 2 weeks

Brocoders delivers minimum viable products for startups and product companies that need to validate a business concept quickly and cost-efficiently. Our MVP development process covers product discovery, defining the core feature set, UX design, technical architecture, full-stack development, QA, and deployment. We use a six-phase process: discovery, design, architecture planning, development, testing, and launch. The output is a functional, deployable product that is sufficient to attract early adopters and generate the user feedback needed to inform the next stage of development.

Most MVPs Brocoders builds are delivered within eight to sixteen weeks. Simple MVPs with a well-defined feature set and limited third-party integrations can be delivered in as few as six weeks. More complex MVPs involving marketplaces, real-time functionality, or payment processing typically take twelve to sixteen weeks. The timeline depends heavily on how defined the product concept is at the start of the engagement. Our discovery phase, which takes one to two weeks, produces a detailed specification and timeline before development begins, so clients have an accurate delivery estimate before committing to the full build.

We apply a clear framework: an MVP should contain only the features without which the product cannot be tested with real users. Every other feature is deferred. During discovery, we work with clients to identify the core value proposition, the primary user workflow that delivers that value, and the minimum set of supporting features required to make that workflow functional. Features that are desirable but not essential to the test are placed on a post-MVP roadmap. This discipline keeps the MVP scope tight, which directly controls cost and time to market.

Our standard MVP stack uses React.js for web front-ends, Node.js for the backend API layer, and React Native for cross-platform mobile applications. We deploy on AWS using managed services including RDS for databases, S3 for file storage, and ECS or Lambda for application hosting. This stack is well-supported, widely understood, and scales effectively from early MVP traffic levels to production scale as the product grows. For clients with an existing technical preference or specific requirements, we can work within other technology choices, but our team's deepest expertise and fastest delivery velocity is within this core stack.

Yes, continuing with the same team after MVP launch is both possible and common. The team that built the MVP has the deepest understanding of the codebase and product context, making them the most efficient choice for the next phase of development. After launch, we conduct a post-launch retrospective to assess what worked, what needs refinement, and what user feedback is telling us about the next priority features. This naturally transitions into an ongoing product development engagement. Clients who continue with Brocoders after MVP launch avoid the ramp-up cost and knowledge transfer delay that comes with switching teams.

We scope MVPs with a defined feature set before development begins, which allows us to provide a cost estimate with clear assumptions. Where scope is inherently uncertain, we use time-and-materials delivery with a monthly budget cap so clients maintain control over total spend. We provide weekly progress updates including budget consumption so there are no surprises at billing time. Our average team rate is competitive with Eastern European market rates, and the five-to-seven-day onboarding timeline means we do not charge clients for an extended ramp-up period before productive work begins.

Yes, we offer a structured discovery sprint that produces a product specification, UX wireframes, technical architecture document, and a delivery timeline and cost estimate. This two-to-four-week engagement is appropriate for clients who have a product idea but need help defining it precisely enough to begin development. The discovery output gives clients the information needed to make a confident investment decision and, if they proceed with Brocoders, reduces uncertainty during the development phase. Clients who have done prior discovery work elsewhere can also bring that material into the project, reducing or eliminating the need for a full discovery sprint.
