Tanner Lab Application Foundation
Start with a maintainable application foundation.
Many SaaS products, portals, and internal applications need the same groundwork. Our Application Foundation keeps that base deliberately clear and maintainable so a small team can launch quickly and continue developing it for the long term.
Built for
Startups launching a focused SaaS product or MVP quickly
SMEs launching internal applications, customer portals, or workflow tools
Teams building AI-powered applications on a solid, testable foundation

What is included
Authentication (password + magic link), role-based access, user groups, invitations
File management (S3-compatible), transactional email, internationalization (EN/DE)
Security hardening: input validation, rate limiting, secure defaults. Plus CI/CD and Docker.
AI-ready architecture: streaming support, composable service layer, clean separation of concerns

The Creation Process
Application Foundation Setup
We configure the foundation for your project and set up the repository, CI/CD, and related delivery basics.
MVP Development
We build the first usable version of your product on top of the Application Foundation.
Managed Delivery
Ongoing development, feature releases, and maintenance. Your product keeps improving without the hiring overhead.


Part of something bigger
Where it fits the project, we use the Application Foundation in our digital product development work. Either way, you get a team that builds, extends, and maintains your product.
