FAQs
Everything you need to know about Salt's software development services. Can't find your answer? Reach out to our team.
Salt offers comprehensive software development services across three pillars: Engineer (product engineering, microservices, CI/CD, test automation), Modernize (cloud migration, platform engineering, application modernization, security), and Intelligence (data platforms, analytics, MLOps, AI copilots). All services are delivered through our managed pod model with the SPARK™ framework.
Quality is built into our delivery process. Every project follows our SPARK™ framework which includes mandatory code reviews, automated testing at multiple levels (unit, integration, e2e), CI/CD pipelines, and regular quality gates. Each pod includes dedicated QA engineers, and we maintain consistent engineering standards regardless of the service type.
Absolutely. Many of our engagements combine services — for example, modernizing a legacy application (Modernize) while adding new features (Engineer) and implementing AI capabilities (Intelligence). Our pods can be composed with the right mix of skills, and our delivery framework ensures seamless coordination across disciplines.
We recommend starting with a Velocity Audit (1-2 weeks) to understand your current state and opportunities. Then, a Pilot Pod (4-6 weeks) lets you test the working relationship with a focused deliverable. Once validated, we scale to Managed Pods for ongoing delivery. This de-risks the engagement and ensures alignment before any long-term commitment.
Our pricing is transparent and based on pod composition rather than hourly rates. Each pod has a monthly cost based on team size and seniority mix. This aligns incentives around outcomes rather than hours billed. We provide detailed proposals after understanding your requirements during the initial consultation.
We've delivered software across Healthcare (HIPAA-compliant systems), Fintech (PCI-DSS, SOC2), SaaS & Startups, E-commerce, and Logistics. Our teams understand industry-specific compliance requirements, domain patterns, and success metrics. This domain expertise accelerates delivery and reduces risk.
For a Velocity Audit or consultation, we can typically start within 1-2 weeks. For a Pilot Pod, expect 2-3 weeks to assemble the right team based on your tech stack and requirements. We prioritize getting the right team composition over rushing to start — the right people deliver better outcomes.
Yes. While we recommend Managed Pods for better outcomes, we also offer Dedicated Developers for teams that have strong internal leadership and need specific skills. You get access to our vetted talent — React, Node, Python, AI engineers, and more — working under your direction while we handle HR, payroll, and retention.

Software development services encompass the full range of activities involved in creating, deploying, and maintaining software applications. This includes everything from initial requirements gathering and architecture design to coding, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.
Modern software development has evolved far beyond simple coding. Today's software development services include cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, data engineering, AI/ML implementation, security, and user experience design. Companies need partners who can deliver across this entire spectrum.
The best software development partners don't just write code — they help you solve business problems through technology. They bring expertise in architecture decisions, technology selection, and engineering best practices that ensure your software is scalable, maintainable, and secure.
Understanding the different types of software development services helps you identify what your organization needs:
Building bespoke applications tailored to your specific business requirements. This includes web applications, mobile apps, enterprise systems, and SaaS platforms. Custom development gives you complete control over features, integrations, and user experience.
End-to-end product development from concept to launch. Product engineering services include market research, prototyping, MVP development, and iterative improvement based on user feedback. The goal is building products that users love and that drive business value.
Designing and implementing cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. This includes cloud migration, containerization with Docker and Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and building internal developer platforms that accelerate delivery.
Building data infrastructure including data warehouses, data lakes, ETL/ELT pipelines, and real-time streaming systems. Analytics services help you extract insights through dashboards, reporting, and business intelligence tools.
Implementing artificial intelligence solutions including machine learning models, natural language processing, computer vision, and AI-powered automation. MLOps services ensure your models can be trained, deployed, and monitored in production.
Comprehensive testing services including manual testing, automated testing, performance testing, and security testing. QA ensures your software meets quality standards and provides a reliable user experience.
Selecting a software development partner is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Here are key factors to evaluate:
Look for partners with deep expertise in your technology stack. Review their portfolio, case studies, and technical blog content. Ask about their experience with similar projects and industries. The best partners stay current with emerging technologies and best practices.
Effective communication is critical for remote teams. Evaluate their communication processes, timezone overlap, and collaboration tools. Look for partners who are proactive communicators and integrate seamlessly with your existing workflows.
Past performance indicates future results. Ask for references and speak with previous clients. Look at third-party reviews on platforms like Clutch and G2. Understand how they handle challenges, scope changes, and project risks.
Your development partner becomes an extension of your team. Assess whether their values, work style, and approach align with yours. The best partnerships are built on mutual respect, transparency, and shared commitment to success.
Both approaches have merits. The right choice depends on your specific situation:
Many successful companies use a hybrid approach — maintaining a core internal team while partnering with external teams for specific projects or to augment capacity during peak periods.
Different engagement models suit different needs. Understanding your options helps you structure the relationship for success:
Individual developers join your team under your management. You maintain full control over work assignments, processes, and delivery. Best for organizations with strong technical leadership who need specific skills.
A complete team works exclusively on your projects but is managed by the service provider. You get the benefits of a focused team without the management overhead. The team typically includes developers, QA, and a technical lead.
Engagement scoped around specific deliverables with defined timelines and costs. Works well for projects with clear requirements. Risk shifts to the service provider, but flexibility for changes is limited.
Pay for actual hours worked. Provides maximum flexibility for evolving requirements. Best for research, exploration, or projects where scope is uncertain. Requires active management to control costs.
