Bad development leaves you with software that can't take the heat.
We never leave our clients burning.
Talk to an engineerForged to take the heat.
Forge is the engineering arm of the m-anant group. m-anant works out the answer, Weave designs it and we build it.
Some people come to us with something new to make. Others come because a system they rely on has started failing in front of their customers, or a vendor has gone quiet and left them holding it. We take on both, and we hold both to the same bar: software that stands up to the load it will really carry.
You have a product, a platform or an internal tool to make, and you want it made once. Before the first line of code we work out what it has to carry, what it connects to, how it fails and who runs it after launch. Then we build it to that.
New buildsSomething in production is failing, or you've inherited a system nobody can explain. We get access, find what is breaking and stop the damage first. After that we fix the cause, so the same fire doesn't start again next month.
Rescue and stabiliseThe heat arrives as a traffic spike on launch day, a database that quietly fills up, a supplier's API that stops answering at 2am, or the one engineer who understood it handing in their notice. We plan for these before they arrive, and we test for them before you go live.
We never leave our clients burning.
We find out what it has to carry, then test it past that.
Anything that can fail has a fallback, and nothing live moves until rollback has been proven.
Access, secrets, data handling and dependencies get reviewed while we build.
Documentation, runbooks and dashboards your team can read without us in the room.
Backups that have been restored at least once, alerts that reach a person, patches on a schedule.
On a move of thirteen hotel and restaurant websites, rollback and disaster recovery were tested in the first month, before a single site moved.
See the approachWe use AI to build because it is fast and, with the right person reading it, accurate. It drafts code, tests and screens in hours. A senior engineer decides what gets made, reads what comes back and signs off every line before it ships.
There's a popular idea that a powerful enough tool removes the need for a skilled driver. We'd put it the other way: AI is the car and the engineer is the driver.
A lot of software is handed over still hot, half-documented and understood only by the people who wrote it. When they leave, the business is left carrying the heat.
We hand over a system your team can run. The code, the servers and the accounts sit in your name. You get the runbooks, the monitoring, the known limits written down and a team that has been walked through it. If you want us to stay on and run it release by release, we can. If you'd rather run it yourselves, it is ready for that.
Engineering supportEach project in the group is told by every arm that worked on it. These are the engineering side: what we built, how we made it hold and what it does now.
A legal marketplace taken back from the vendor that ran it. The morning test failed, two blockers were fixed by midday and it went live on the client's own domains that afternoon.

A CRM and loyalty platform moved from one large codebase to modules around one customer record, built so brand programmes could move across in waves.

Hotel and restaurant websites moved off shared servers onto their own machines in three waves, with rollback proven before the first move.

Tell us what you're building or what's failing. We'll ask the questions a build needs answered early: what it has to carry, what it talks to, what happens to the business if it stops and who runs it afterwards. For a rescue we look at the system itself before we suggest anything.
You then get a short written plan with the risks we see, the shape of the work and what happens in the first two weeks. If we think you don't need us, we'll tell you that too.
