Our own software, used in production every day — one for WordPress, one written in Go.
A persistent object cache accelerator for WordPress. It stores cached data as plain PHP code and uses OPcache for speed — ideal when Redis or Memcached isn’t available.
$ wp plugin install docket-cache --activate
A lightweight tunnel that exposes local services to the internet. Share a website, SSH access or a database with a single command — no port forwarding or firewall changes.

Why Golang
When a WordPress site needs something heavier behind it — an API, a worker, a sync tool — Go gives you speed without the operational weight.
Approach
We turn specific requirements into practical backend solutions tailored to your needs.
We review your setup and requirements, and define the technology needed.
A clear scope, timeline and weekly estimate before any work begins.
Focused development with regular progress updates and working releases.
Deployment, documentation and support so you own what we build.
FAQ
The WordPress backend is the administration area where you change WordPress behaviour, install plugins, and manage your content and design settings. It is also referred to as wp-admin.
It is the work of creating and maintaining the technology that makes your website operate properly, such as WordPress core and plugins. It involves the database, server scripts, APIs and other systems behind the scenes.
Yes and no — it depends on your requirement. For a premium plugin, the best option is to contact the plugin developer first. As this is a time-consuming process, we review each request before accepting it.
We build REST APIs, CLI tools, background workers, caching layers and system integrations in Go — either as standalone services or working alongside your WordPress sites.
Some jobs are too heavy for PHP: high-traffic APIs, long-running background tasks, data syncs or parallel processing. A Go service handles these efficiently and talks to WordPress through its REST API or database, keeping your site fast.
We build a single binary with pure Go drivers (CGO_ENABLED=0), so there is no runtime to install. The same codebase builds for Linux, Windows and macOS, and can be containerised with Docker if you prefer.
For both WordPress and Go work, our rates are based on a minimum of 5 working days a week. The total depends on your requirement and how many weeks the work will take.
