From instability to global scale
Gigpay had experienced several challenges in previous development attempts that resulted in instability, missed deadlines, and performance issues. The product — essential to facilitating payouts for freelancers and gig economy professionals — needed to be completely restructured to support a global audience. Luby was brought in as a trusted engineering partner, with the flexibility and expertise to rebuild the project while keeping operations running.
Previous vendor engagements failed — missed deadlines and unreliable delivery
Performance bottlenecks, database issues, and deployment failures hurting uptime
Platform not yet structured to support international payouts and compliance
Need for rapid integrations with international payment partners
Scalable backend and modular architecture required for long-term growth
Our Approach
Luby's engagement was structured in three strategic phases — ensuring both short-term recovery and long-term scalability.

Comprehensive audit of architecture and codebase; performance bottlenecks, database issues, and deployment failures corrected. Outcome: a functional environment, operational stability, and a reliable delivery pipeline.
Engineering firepower & backend
Senior engineers specialized in fintech, APIs, and payments reinforced the backend with modular architecture, documentation, and optimized testing — supporting higher volumes and new partners without downtime.
