Scaling Without Compromise
How we built cloud infrastructure for a mission-driven platform
Rebuilding the Backbone of Media Transparency
When Ad Fontes Media set out to grow their software capabilities, they needed more than extra developers: they needed a strong, solid foundation for long-term growth.
​
That meant upgrading infrastructure, moving to the cloud, and building systems that could ship fast and reliably. BearPeak jumped in — delivering production-ready features within a week and instantly picking up speed.
Built for Speed & Stability
Building for a Secure Future
AWS RDS Migration
Beyond writing code, BearPeak provided structure — implementing cloud migration strategies, development pipelines, testing practices, and CI/CD processes that enabled faster releases with minimal downtime and fewer errors.
​
Just as importantly, BearPeak delivered clarity. Clear communication, defined expectations, and strong project leadership ensured alignment across stakeholders.
Precision Talent, Real Partnership
Human-Centered Engineering
The combination of technical expertise and interpersonal awareness allowed teams to collaborate efficiently — something Vanessa noted is rare in software development partnerships.
​
With expertise in sourcing precisely the right engineering talent and implementing scalable cloud infrastructure, BearPeak enabled Ad Fontes Media to expand its capabilities without compromising stability or speed.
I am a repeat customer of BearPeak. It's really nice to have a company that you can rely on.
Lots of folks have the skills to do software development. But you can't just throw [them] into a room and expect really efficient results, or that everyone's going to get along, unless you have somebody who really understands interpersonal dynamics and has the technical knowledge.
​​​
I always had really clear expectations of what was going to happen and when, and who was going to do what. You can't find that everywhere.​
