Gluak Srl

Overview

Italian software studio, mobile-first. We build production apps and the infrastructure that powers them — including Futbol24, a livescore app with 10M+ downloads on Google Play, native iOS + Android, with a custom realtime backend serving thousands of requests per second. Two senior co-founders, 20+ years shipping mobile. WHO WE ARE Gluak is two senior engineers, working directly with clients: • Daniele — Co-founder, ex-CTO @ Beeweeb • Alessandro — Co-founder, ex-Mobile Lead @ Beeweeb No middlemen, no junior handoff. You talk to the people writing the code. WHAT WE DO We take mobile products from idea to live in the store, end-to-end: • Architecture, data layer, API design • React Native + Expo as default — with native iOS (Swift, Obj-C) and Android (Kotlin) when the work needs to drop down to the bridge • Backend & data: Node.js, NestJS, PHP-FPM, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, ActiveMQ • Edge & performance: custom Varnish VMOD in C — the kind of work that gets a 99.7% cache hit ratio on dynamic content • Push at scale: APNs + FCM directly (we run our own push infrastructure for Futbol24, no Firebase wrapper) • App Store & Play Store submission — TestFlight, EAS Build, store assets, review escalations OUR PRODUCTS IN PRODUCTION • Futbol24 — soccer livescore, 10M+ downloads on Google Play • Notiflow — proprietary push notification platform (used by Futbol24) • Splace — social platform for creators (Next.js 16, NestJS, PostgreSQL) • Microprogress — project documentation tool PAST CLIENTS (PRE-GLUAK) At Beeweeb we built apps and platforms for Vodafone (Italy, Germany, UK, global rollouts), the H3G / 3 group (Sweden, Norway, UK, Australia), and Intuit. We shipped the first iPhone app for Vodafone Italia — on the App Store at the day-one iPhone launch in Italy. We've been shipping mobile code since the Symbian era, before app stores existed. The fundamentals haven't changed: ship something that works, ship something users actually open, ship something that doesn't fall over at scale. WORK WITH US IF • You need a React Native / Expo app built right, from scratch or refactoring an existing codebase • You have a mobile app that's slow, crashes, or doesn't scale — and you want it diagnosed and fixed • You need real push notification infrastructure, not a Firebase tutorial • You want senior engineering ownership, not juniors writing tickets Based in Italy. We write code, ship code, and own the result.
