CURSOR AGENCY: WE BUILD YOUR SOFTWARE FAST WITH AI

STEP 1: DISCOVERY AND TECHNICAL AUDIT

We start by understanding your business need and technical requirements. No generic questionnaires—we dig deep into what you actually need to build.

If you have existing code, we audit it. We review your architecture, identify technical debt, and spot what can be improved or needs refactoring. We check your Git repos, deployment setup, and integrations.

If you’re starting fresh, we discuss your product vision, user flows, and core features. We identify the MVP scope and what can ship first.

We also assess your tech stack constraints (hosting, databases, third-party APIs, compliance requirements). We don’t force a stack—we recommend what fits your needs.

At the end of this step, you get a clear technical roadmap with priorities, timeline estimates, and a fixed-price quote.

STEP 2: ARCHITECTURE AND TECH STACK

We design the technical architecture of your project. We’re talking database schema, API structure, authentication flow, third-party integrations, and deployment strategy.

We choose the right tech stack for your needs. Typically: Next.js or React for frontend, Node.js or Python for backend, PostgreSQL or MongoDB for data, Vercel or AWS for hosting. We adapt based on your constraints.

We set up your development environment: Git repository structure, CI/CD pipeline, environment variables, testing framework, linting rules. Everything is configured with Cursor’s workspace settings for optimal AI assistance.

We create detailed technical specs for each feature, with user stories, API endpoints, database models, and component hierarchy. This becomes our development blueprint.

At the end of this step, you have a complete technical plan, a configured dev environment, and we’re ready to start coding.

STEP 3: DEVELOPMENT WITH CURSOR

We develop your application using Cursor’s AI-powered coding capabilities. We’re not letting AI write everything blindly—we guide it, review every line, and refactor for quality.

We build feature by feature, starting with core functionality. We use Cursor’s code generation and autocomplete for rapid development, inline editing for quick fixes, and chat with codebase to understand and modify complex logic.

We write clean TypeScript code, implement proper error handling, add comprehensive logging, and build responsive interfaces. We integrate all your third-party APIs (payment, auth, email, CRM, etc.) and test each integration.

We use Git with proper branching strategy, write meaningful commit messages, and conduct code reviews. We also set up automated testing (unit tests, integration tests) and run linters to maintain code quality.

Every week, you see progress. We deploy to a staging environment so you can test, give feedback, and validate features as we build them.

STEP 4: TESTING AND OPTIMIZATION

Before going to production, we test everything. We’re talking functional testing, performance testing, security audit, and cross-browser/device testing.

We use Cursor to refactor and optimize code for performance. We identify slow queries, optimize renders, implement caching strategies, and reduce bundle sizes. We make sure your app is fast and can handle load.

We also handle error scenarios: what happens if an API fails, if a payment doesn’t go through, if a user enters invalid data. We implement proper error handling, fallbacks, and user-friendly error messages.

We write technical documentation for your codebase (README, API docs, setup guides) and prepare deployment documentation. If you plan to maintain the code in-house, we make sure everything is documented.

At the end of this step, you have a production-ready application that’s tested, optimized, and documented.

STEP 5: DEPLOYMENT AND HANDOFF

We deploy your application to production. We handle the entire deployment process: server setup, environment configuration, DNS, SSL certificates, monitoring, and backup strategies.

We typically deploy on Vercel (for Next.js apps), AWS, or your preferred hosting. We set up CI/CD so future deployments are automated. Every push to main triggers tests and deploys if everything passes.

We configure monitoring and logging (Sentry for errors, analytics, performance monitoring) so you can track what’s happening in production. We also set up alerts for critical issues.

We train your team on how to use the system, how to make updates, and how to troubleshoot common issues. We give you access to all repos, deployment credentials, and documentation.

At the end of this step, your application is live, monitored, and your team knows how to maintain it.

STEP 6: SUPPORT AND ITERATION

We don’t disappear after launch. We monitor the first weeks to catch any production issues and fix them immediately.

You get 30 days of post-launch support included: bug fixes, performance tweaks, minor feature adjustments. We’re available to answer questions and help your team.

After that, you can keep us on retainer for ongoing development (new features, optimizations, integrations) or go fully autonomous. We also offer maintenance packages if you prefer us to handle updates and technical debt.

We use Cursor for all post-launch development, so iterations stay fast. Need a new feature? We can ship it in days, not weeks.

You work with an agency that stays reactive and can pivot quickly based on user feedback or business needs.

WHY WORK WITH US?

AN AGENCY THAT USES CURSOR FOR CLIENT PROJECTS EVERY DAY

At Hack’celeration, we don’t just do Cursor agency work. We’re developers who’ve been coding for years and now leverage AI to ship faster. We master the whole stack (React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, Vercel) and know how to architect scalable systems.

We’ve been using AI-assisted development since GPT-3 and were early adopters of Cursor. We understand how to use AI effectively: when to let it generate code, when to guide it, and when to code manually. We also know its limitations.

We work with early-stage startups building their MVP, scale-ups shipping new products, and established companies modernizing legacy code. We’ve built SaaS platforms with Stripe payments and complex authentication, marketplaces with real-time features, internal tools for operations teams, and API-first products.

We’ve developed complete Next.js applications deployed on Vercel handling thousands of users, Node.js APIs processing millions of requests, and automated hundreds of workflows by integrating various APIs. We’ve also refactored legacy codebases and migrated them to modern stacks.

We don’t cut corners with AI. We use it to accelerate, not to skip best practices. You get proper architecture, clean code, comprehensive testing, and production-grade deployments.

You work with a team that has shipped dozens of applications using Cursor and knows exactly how to combine AI assistance with solid engineering principles to deliver fast without breaking things.
