About
A small Danish development studio focused on what stays up.
FlareTech builds websites, ecommerce, custom software and cloud for companies that need to be online every day. A small team. Direct access. Advice before code.
Who we are
Software and infrastructure — one supplier, end to end.
FlareTech is a small, dedicated development studio based on Sjælland in Denmark. We've deliberately kept the team small: it means whoever designs a feature also stands by it when it fails at 2am — and that you talk directly to whoever's building, not an account manager passing things on.
We start with the simplest solution that lasts — often Shopify or an existing setup. Custom software only when the platform can't carry the business. That's advice before code: we say no to unnecessary custom work, even when it would mean more billable hours for us.
We've specialised in three things: websites and ecommerce (including Shopify), product development from MVP to scalable platform, and cloud infrastructure that can be operated without a whole department. The three connect — product without operations becomes technical debt; operations without product understanding becomes silo thinking.
Our professional starting point is that mature choices beat new choices when something needs to stand for five years. We use Next.js over the newest meta-framework, Postgres over the newest database vendor, and Cloudflare and Vercel over rolling our own. It's not boring — it's predictable. There's a difference.
People
You talk to the people who build.
A small team with direct access. More profiles appear when there are more to show honestly.
Simon Rasmussen
Founder
Has worked in IT operations, infrastructure and development since 2017 — most recently as a backend and DevOps specialist at one of Denmark's largest media houses, with large-scale cloud environments on AWS and Azure, and before that responsible for networks, servers and two data centres across a Scandinavian shopping-centre portfolio. AWS and Cisco CCNA certified. Based on Sjælland, working with teams across Denmark and the EU.
What we build on
Five things we consistently choose.
These aren't marketing promises. They're choices we make every time, because we've seen what the alternative costs.
Direct access over middlemen
You write to whoever's building the thing — in a shared Slack channel, not through a project coordinator. Information moves faster, decisions get better, and misunderstandings get shorter.
End-to-end ownership
The same team designs the architecture, writes the code, sets up monitoring and hands over to operations. That means no handover gaps, and the person who built a feature can also debug it.
Defensible choices over modern choices
We pick stack with documentation, community, long-term outlook and operational maturity in mind. If a new tool gives us a marginal gain but is hard to hire for in two years, we pick the mature one.
Documentation as we go, not at the end
READMEs, ADRs and runbooks get written as we build — not as a separate project after handover. That means they actually exist, and your team can onboard without a training course.
Speak up honestly
If we're not the right team for the work, we say so in discovery — not after a quarter. If an engagement starts pulling in an unsustainable direction, we put it on the table. Better to adjust early than politely.

Why we do this
We build software the way we'd want to buy it.
We've all been on the other side of the table — buying a software project and discovering that what we'd bought couldn't be operated, couldn't be understood, couldn't be changed without hiring the original supplier back. We built FlareTech as a reaction to that.
Concretely that means: you own everything we make. The code lives in your repo. The infrastructure runs on your accounts. The documentation is written so your team can take over. We're happy to stay on — because it's nice to see something scale — but you're never locked in.
Let's talk
The best thing we can show is a conversation.
