After 2+ years and multiple setbacks, you need decisive technical leadership to complete your trade-in platform. In 2 weeks, we'll identify your top risks across React/Node/AWS, assess WordPress stability, map your critical workflows, and deliver a clear path to launch.
You have an existing WordPress/WooCommerce site serving customers and a React/Node operations platform that's 50-70% complete. But critical gaps are holding you back: a 7-month estimate became 2+ years, complex business logic for receiving and testing devices remains incomplete, and you've been forced to make technical decisions that should come from your agency. You need partners who take the wheel.
A 7-month estimate became 2+ years. Missed timelines, team turnover (two project managers), and inconsistent progress eroded trust. You're past the point of patience—you need a team that can assess what's salvageable, chart a realistic path to completion, and actually deliver on their commitments.
Device receiving vs USPS delivery reconciliation, testing outcomes, conditional emails, payout processing, inventory handoff—the workflows are complex and custom. You can't just watch a YouTube video to solve these problems. You need senior engineers who understand operational platforms and can design robust, testable business logic.
You were forced to research tech decisions, evaluate three options for implementing a blog, and spend 8+ hours per week doing project management work that should come from your agency. You need a senior team that presents options with recommendations and trade-offs—so you approve decisions instead of making them.
You need partners with React/Node/AWS and internal tools experience who take the wheel—not more meetings and questions that drain your time.
We'll identify your top risks across React/Node and AWS, assess WordPress stability, map your critical workflows (receiving, testing, payouts, inventory), and produce an MVP completion plan with Keep/Refactor/Rebuild recommendations. You'll get technical clarity, cost ranges with effort bands, and a realistic 30/60/90 roadmap—without the inflexible contracts and decision fatigue that held you back before.
"I haven't found another team that can deliver like Camber. The ROI is consistently great."
Product Immersion is our rapid rescue triage process for stalled platforms. In 2 weeks, we deliver evidence-based risk assessment across your React/Node codebase, AWS infrastructure, WordPress site, and critical business workflows—with prioritized findings and a clear MVP roadmap. This isn't exhaustive analysis (that happens in the monthly engagement)—it's focused triage to identify your top risks and fastest path to launch. Here's what's included:
React/Node Code & AWS Audit. Focused assessment of React frontend architecture, Node.js backend patterns, and AWS infrastructure. Includes top-10 risks with code evidence, technical debt hotspots, security findings, and CI/CD pipeline review of critical paths. We'll identify what's salvageable vs. needs refactoring.
WordPress/WooCommerce Health Check. Rapid health check of your live customer-facing site. Includes staging environment setup checklist, plugin inventory with critical upgrade priorities, PHP compatibility assessment, top security hardening recommendations, and maintenance plan to keep your site stable while building the new platform.
Business Logic Deep Dive. Focused mapping of your top 2-3 critical operational workflows (device intake, USPS reconciliation, payout processing). We'll identify edge cases in these high-impact flows, propose test approaches for complex logic, and recommend architectural patterns for the highest-risk business processes.
MVP Cutover Roadmap. Keep/Refactor/Rebuild recommendations for core components with justifications. Includes a realistic 30/60/90 day delivery plan with cost ranges and effort bands, resource allocation guidance, and go-live checklist covering UAT, rollback procedures, and cutover strategy. Detailed task-level estimates follow in the monthly engagement.
We work in four-week cycles with intense focus on continuously shipping improvements you can use and feel. Perfect for operational platforms that need to balance urgent WordPress stability with systematic React/Node development, gather team feedback between releases, and pivot priorities based on real-world usage patterns. Low meeting overhead (1-2 per week), transparent Trello/Slack updates, and month-to-month flexibility. Our Product Immersion is your chance to see the process in action.
1. Align: Establish or reaffirm business and product goals both broadly and short-term.
2. Define: Write and prioritize next-up requests.
3. Create: Deliver the next-up request one-at-a-time (relentless focus).
4. Test: Peer review, then pass to you. Keep the request open for changes, or accept.
5. Release: Deliver accepted requests to approved audiences (e.g. test or live).
6. Learn: Gather active and passive feedback from audience to incorporate into the next iteration.
Smart teams trust Camber to design and build apps that move the needle–earning, raising, saving, or exiting for millions.

Product Immersion is a rapid 2-week triage that identifies your top risks and fastest path to launch. You'll receive: (a) top-10 findings per domain (React/Node/AWS, WordPress) with concrete code evidence, (b) Keep/Refactor/Rebuild recommendations for core components, (c) a prioritized MVP backlog with cost ranges and effort bands, and (d) a go-live checklist covering environments, CI/CD, and cutover strategy. This isn't exhaustive analysis—that happens during the monthly engagement. It's focused triage to give you clarity on what you're inheriting and an honest assessment of what it takes to launch.
We don't give you homework—we give you recommendations with pros/cons and our clear pick. You get a single accountable PM, two focused meetings per week (not endless calls), sprint demos, and written acceptance criteria with Definition of Done for every story. We maintain transparent burn-up charts, risk logs, and change-control processes so scope changes don't derail timelines. Our all-US senior team conducts peer-reviewed PRs, and QA is baked into delivery. You approve decisions; we handle execution.
Yes. We routinely rescue partially built React frontends with Node backends on AWS. We work with Express/Nest, Postgres/MySQL/DynamoDB, S3/CloudFront, SQS/SNS, Lambda/ECS/EKS, and Terraform/IaC. You can expect disciplined PRs, environment isolation, and CI/CD pipelines you can observe in real-time. Our goal is to ship safely while stabilizing and hardening what's already valuable in your existing codebase. We've successfully taken over dozens of stalled projects and gotten them to production.
Absolutely. We model device lifecycle workflows (intake → scan → test → reconcile → payout → inventory) using state machines and event-driven queues (SQS/SNS) with idempotency, retry/backoff logic, and comprehensive audit logs. We implement role-based permissions, USPS reconciliation jobs, and data integrity checks. This approach reduces bottlenecks and errors while making workflows observable and testable. Complex operational logic is our specialty—this isn't a YouTube tutorial project.
We operate in 4-week cycles with a velocity plan tied to your budget (around $20K/month in your case). You can scale up or down monthly, pause, or switch to maintenance mode when the MVP launches. QA, PM, and release management are included—no separate 'gotcha' fees. We propose the next cycle's scope before it starts and demo what shipped at the end. No surprises, no rigid contracts. You have complete control over your investment level month-to-month.
Assuming your 50-70% completion estimate is accurate and we can keep most of the React UI while tightening the Node/AWS backend: 2 weeks for Product Immersion + 8-12 weeks for MVP hardening and gap-filling. Significant backend rework could add 2-4 weeks; we'll confirm after the triage with a dependency map and critical path analysis. End-of-year completion is aggressive but feasible if we start immediately and keep scope tight. Product Immersion will give you an honest, realistic timeline.
Product Immersion creates the WordPress stabilization plan: staging setup checklist, plugin upgrade priorities, PHP compatibility roadmap, security hardening, and performance recommendations. Then during monthly engagement, we execute the plan: handle critical fixes and small API connectors, deploy updates in safe maintenance windows with rollback plans, and keep your revenue-generating site stable and secure while building the new platform.
You do—100% from day one. Repositories live under your GitHub organization, AWS runs in your accounts, and we work via pull requests through your CI/CD pipelines. No lock-in, no license traps. We provide comprehensive documentation and knowledge transfer. We only retain rights to our internal tooling and processes, not your deliverables. You can walk away at any time with full ownership of everything we've built.
