The Role of Outsourcing in Today’s Software Dev Market
Hey everyone — I’m curious what you think about outsourcing for software projects. I recently worked at a small startup with just two devs, and we got overwhelmed trying to build a mobile app and maintain our backend. We ended up missing deadlines and feeling burnt out. So I started wondering — maybe hiring an outside team could help. Has anyone been in a similar spot and tried outsourcing? What was it like, especially when you didn’t have many full-time devs in-house?

Absolutely — I’ve been there. A couple years ago I was part of a lean team building an MVP, and we quickly realized we didn’t have enough hands for both frontend and backend. That’s when we reached out to a firm offering software development services https://redwerk.com/services/ to help. It felt natural, not like a “sales pitch,” but like getting extra teammates when we were stretched thin. The outside team helped us with UI/UX design, coding and quality checks — letting us stay focused on business logic and product direction. In the end we launched faster than we thought possible, and didn’t have to scramble hiring and onboarding new people ourselves. So if you don’t have deep in-house resources, outsourcing can really smooth things out.
