Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with Horizon Dev.

What does Horizon Dev do?

Horizon Dev is a 15-person software agency that rebuilds legacy data platforms for established companies. We specialize in replacing outdated ERP systems, legacy databases, and manual data pipelines with modern, maintainable software using React, Django, Node.js, and Supabase.

Who does Horizon Dev work with?

We work across all industries. Most of our clients are SaaS products and B2B data companies, but we have built for aviation, financial services, manufacturing, real estate, and more. If you have a complex data workflow or a platform that needs modernizing, we can help regardless of your industry.

How much does a legacy platform rebuild cost?

Projects typically range from $25,000 to $500,000+ depending on system complexity, data volume, and integration requirements. We provide detailed estimates after a free discovery call where we assess your current platform and define the scope.

How long does a legacy modernization project take?

Most projects follow a phased approach. A critical module rebuild takes 2-4 months. A full platform migration takes 6-18 months depending on data complexity, regulatory requirements, and integration scope. We start delivering value in the first sprint.

What technologies does Horizon Dev use?

Our core stack includes React and Next.js for frontends, Django and Node.js for backends, Supabase and PostgreSQL for databases, and Python for data pipelines and ML. We also work with Docker, Prefect, n8n, and various AI/ML frameworks.

Can you show me examples of your work?

Yes. Our most notable projects include rebuilding VREF Aviation's 30-year-old aircraft valuation platform (67% revenue growth, 4.2x ROI) and taking over a Microsoft website serving 1M+ annual users. See our full case studies at horizon.dev/case-studies.

What makes Horizon Dev different from other agencies?

We only do one thing: legacy platform modernization for data-intensive businesses. We're not a general web dev shop. Every engineer on our team has experience migrating complex data systems, handling OCR extraction, building AI pricing models, and replacing manual workflows with automation.

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes. We offer a free strategy call where we assess your current platform, identify the highest-impact modernization opportunities, and provide a rough timeline and budget estimate. No obligation. Book at horizon.dev/book-call.

Where is Horizon Dev located?

Horizon Dev is a US-based company with team members across three continents. We work remotely with clients worldwide, though most of our clients are US-based mid-market companies.

What is your team size?

We're a team of 15 engineers across frontend, backend, DevOps, and design. Founded by Austin Reed, who has personally led 100+ production deployments.
