Getting Started
This documentation explains how Dream Code Factory delivers the Fractional Platform Team. The marketing site makes the case for why — this is the technical companion that shows how: the platform we build for you, and the way we operate it once it’s live.
Who this is for
Section titled “Who this is for”- Technical founders & CTOs evaluating or already onboarded — so you can see exactly what we stand up, with no black boxes. Transparency is part of the product.
- Engineers (ours and yours) who need a reference for the architecture and the operating model.
We name concrete tools throughout (Terraform, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, the Grafana stack, and so on). Treat them as our representative default stack — the proven baseline we reach for. We adapt to what already works in your environment; the cloud and your existing CI provider are chosen during the audit.
How these docs are organized
Section titled “How these docs are organized”The documentation has two halves, bracketed by the two phases that come before you go live:
- The Audit — the Day-5 Platform Audit & Scorecard, where every engagement begins.
- The Onboarding Process — the 14-Day Launch that builds the platform and hands you the assets.
- The Platform — the what: the layered architecture we instantiate, from infrastructure up through CI/CD and observability.
- The Operation — the how: 24/7 operations, incident ownership, and how we stay in touch.
The delivery lifecycle
Section titled “The delivery lifecycle”Everything in these docs maps onto a single, simple path:
Step 0 Step 1 Step 2The Audit → The 14-Day Launch → Operate(scorecard) (build + cutover) (run it, 24/7) └── The Platform ──────────────┘ (instantiated here, (operated here) owned by you)- Step 0 — The Audit is a risk-free diagnostic. Free for founding clients, and credited toward the Launch if you proceed.
- Step 1 — The 14-Day Launch is the one-time onboarding: we build the platform in parallel with your live product, then cut over to live operations.
- Step 2 — Operate is the ongoing monthly retainer: we run the platform 24/7.
The Platform is instantiated in Step 1 and owned by you — the Infrastructure-as-Code, documentation, and dashboards are yours to keep. The Operation is what Step 2 buys.
Where to go next
Section titled “Where to go next”If you want the technical picture, start with The Platform. If you want to understand the engagement itself, start with The Audit.
