We Build Infrastructure for Commerce
Byte8 started as a Magento development agency. We kept building the same tools for every client — so we productised them. Now we build the infrastructure platform that commerce teams use to monitor, deploy, and connect their stores.
What drives us
Product-First
We're a product company, not a consultancy. Every tool we build solves a real problem we've experienced building commerce systems. Services exist to support product adoption.
Engineering Excellence
Rust for backend performance, Next.js for modern frontends, async-graphql for type-safe APIs. We choose technologies for long-term reliability, not hype.
Commerce-Native
We don't build generic DevOps tools and market them to commerce. We build tools specifically for the unique challenges of running online stores at scale.
Transparent & Honest
Simple pricing, open documentation, UK-registered company. We're in this for the long term — building trust with every interaction.
