Who we are
Seasoned engineers, two decades in the craft
Asterope DOO is a software company based in Croatia. Our engineers each bring more than twenty years of experience helping teams design systems that scale, rescue projects that stalled, and turn ambitious ideas into products that run in production. We favour clarity over cleverness, and durability over hype.
Outcome over output
We measure ourselves by the systems that keep running long after we leave: maintainable, observable, and understood by your own team.
Product mindset
Because we build and operate our own SaaS, we bring an operator's instinct to every engagement — cost, reliability and developer experience included.
What we do
Consultancy across the full stack
Four disciplines, one team. Engage us for any of them — or for the seams between them, where the hardest problems usually live.
Backend technologies
APIs, data pipelines, event-driven systems and the unglamorous reliability work that keeps them honest. Go, Node, Python, Java, PostgreSQL, Kafka and the cloud they run on.
Frontend technologies
Interfaces that are fast, accessible and a pleasure to maintain. Modern React and TypeScript, design systems, and a stubborn respect for performance budgets.
Architecture
From monolith to microservices and back when it makes sense. We help you choose boundaries, contracts and trade-offs you can live with for years, not quarters.
SaaS product development
We take products from blank repository to paying customers — and we run them in production. The same discipline we apply to our own SaaS, applied to yours.
Built by us
Our SaaS products
We don't just advise — we operate. Our products are where our engineering opinions meet real customers and real uptime requirements.

Why "Asterope"
A small star in the Seven Sisters
Asterope is one of the stars of the Pleiades — the cluster the ancient Greeks called the Seven Sisters, and Croatian sailors, like sailors everywhere, used to read the season and find their way. It is not the brightest light in the sky, but it is a constant one. That is the kind of partner we try to be: dependable, precise, and there when you navigate by it.
