Great Experience With BuildFire on Our DevOps Services Project

Khalid Al Mansoori / Chief Digital Officer | Jul 20, 2026

Our experience with BuildFire was really positive from start to finish. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We engaged BuildFire to containerize our application and move it to Kubernetes. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. The engagement ran for about 7 months.

For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Design, Web Development and Mobile App Development, and it has been operating since 2014.

When you're weighing up a software partner such as BuildFire, it's worth looking past the pitch and checking the portfolio, what past clients say, relevant industry background, technical range, how they communicate, pricing structure, project management style, and what support looks like after launch. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Design, Web Development and Mobile App Development, and it has experience across industries such as Travel & Hospitality, Fashion & Apparel, Government & Public Sector, Media & Entertainment, Agriculture and Logistics & Supply Chain.

That depends on where BuildFire is based and who they primarily serve — some firms like this operate fully offshore, some are local-first, and plenty run a hybrid model that mixes both. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Design, Web Development and Mobile App Development, and it has been operating since 2014.

Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like BuildFire, where you get engineers working exclusively on your project as an extension of your in-house team rather than as a separate outsourced unit. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Design, Web Development and Mobile App Development, and it has been operating since 2014.
