Scalable Production Capacity
Your vision, plus our dedicated production team
Scale your product with a fully managed, senior-led production team. Development, UX/UI, and project management available standalone or as add-ons. Zero hiring overhead, predictable monthly cost.
The Problem
Building a product team is painful. Running without one is worse.
Scaling production capacity is the #1 bottleneck for ambitious products. We've identified the three core points of failure in the traditional hiring model.
01 //
Hiring Is a Nightmare
Recruiting senior talent takes months. Developers, designers, project managers...each hire is a gamble. Turnover kills momentum. You're building a product, not an HR department.
02 //
Freelancers Are Unreliable
Missed deadlines, inconsistent quality, constant contractor churn. You can't build a scalable business on disjointed one-off relationships.
03 //
You're Stuck in the Middle
Too small to justify a full internal product team, too ambitious to stay small. Growth is bottlenecked by capacity.
The Model
What the heck is a pod?
Think of it as a plug-and-play production team. Most agencies sell you hours or projects; we provide a self-sustaining unit of senior talent. Core pods include development leadership and execution. Add UX/UI design and Project Management when you need them.
Self-Sustaining Unit
A pod is a complete production team in a box. Development leadership, execution, and quality assurance. Ready to ship from day one.
The Delivery Engine
We bring the process, the tools, and the senior talent. You get production-ready output without the management debt.
Principal-Led
Every pod is led by a senior architect who owns the technical roadmap and team output so you don’t have to.
Flexible by Design
Start with core development or add UX/UI and Project Management. Scale up for launches, back off for maintenance.
The Solution
A production team without the hiring headaches.
Senior-Led Architecture
Every project gets senior-level oversight and technical direction. We invest in growing talent internally. You never pay for learning.
Predictable Monthly Cost
Know exactly what you're spending. No hourly surprises, no scope creep invoices, no contractor juggling.
Zero Management Burden
We handle hiring, performance, sprints, and code reviews. You focus on clients and growth.
Flexible Partnership Model
Work with us as House of Giants, or go white-label if your client relationships require it. Your call.
Battle-Tested Velocity
Established workflows, reusable components, and proven processes mean faster delivery on every project.
Scales With Your Pipeline
Add capacity when you land big contracts. Scale back during slower months. No long-term headcount risk.
Onboarding
Operational in 14 days.
We don't wait for your setup. We bring our own battle-tested stack, provision or audit your infrastructure, and start shipping on day one.
Day 1-3
Pod OS Deployment
We deploy our technical foundation, audit any existing infrastructure, and bring you into our delivery channels.
Day 4-7
Technical Roadmap
Your Pod Lead defines the architecture, identifies bottlenecks, and maps out the first three sprints.
Day 8-10
First Sprint Kickoff
Environments are live, CI/CD is configured, and the team begins shipping production-ready code.
Day 14+
Steady Velocity
The pod reaches full velocity, delivering consistent updates every sprint with zero management on your end.

FAQ
Common questions.
Straight answers about how dedicated pods work in practice.
How is this different from hiring contractors?
Contractors are individual contributors you manage. A Pod is a complete, managed production unit with senior leadership. We handle architecture, team management, and quality. You just provide direction. Add UX/UI or Project Management when you need them. See how this works in our case studies.
Do you offer white-label partnerships?
Yes. While we bring our own process and Pod OS, we can work under your brand and bridge our tools into your client's view. We're happy to be the invisible engine behind your agency's delivery. Check out our full range of services to see how we can support you.
What if I need to scale up or down?
Pods are flexible. You can upgrade tiers when you land big contracts or scale back during slower periods. No long-term headcount commitments.
How do you handle communication?
Your Pod Lead is your single point of contact. We bring you into our dedicated delivery channels for full transparency, providing real-time visibility into sprints, blockers, and progress without the management overhead.
What technologies do you work with?
We lead with a modern, high-velocity stack: React, Next.js, Node, TypeScript, and headless CMS platforms. While we bring our own proven toolchain (Pod OS), we ensure it integrates seamlessly with your target environment for final delivery.
How fast can we start?
Most Pods are operational within 2 weeks. We deploy the Pod OS, establish the technical foundation, and audit any existing codebase so your production team can start shipping immediately.
