A complete analytics layer — shipped in 7 days while the team stayed heads down

A Series A fintech needed a revenue analytics dashboard for their board. They couldn't pull engineers off the payments infrastructure. Runstream delivered 8 features — multi-tenant, role-based — without the team context-switching once.

The Challenge

Board pressure, no spare engineers

The company closed a $12M Series A and was building their payments engine. Then the board demanded a revenue analytics dashboard before the next quarterly review. Pulling even one engineer off payments would have delayed the core product by weeks.

The constraint

Core team 100% allocated to payments infrastructure. Zero engineer hours could be redirected without impacting the payments timeline.

The requirement

Production-grade analytics matching their design system. Multi-tenant with role-based access. Real-time from existing PostgreSQL. Deploy to their infrastructure.

Execution

Plugged into their codebase, shipped without disruption

Day 0

Codebase ingestion and architecture analysis

Connected to GitHub, analyzed the full codebase, identified design system tokens, mapped database schema. Scope delivered within 18 hours.

Days 1–3

Core dashboard and data layer

Stream 1: data aggregation layer with revenue, MRR, and cohort queries. Stream 2: dashboard UI matching design system. CTO reviewed query optimization on day 2.

Days 4–5

Visualizations and role-based access

Interactive charts, drill-downs, comparison views. Role-based access integrated with existing auth — executives see company-wide, account managers see their accounts only.

Days 6–7

Exports, alerts, and deployment

CSV/PDF exports, churn spike alerts with Slack notifications, integration testing, production deployment and full documentation.

"

Our team was heads down on payments. Runstream delivered the entire analytics layer without us context-switching once. When we deployed, it looked like our own team built it — same patterns, same conventions, same quality bar.

Three months later, the dashboard is the most-used internal tool. The CTO has since engaged Runstream for two additional feature builds — both delivered with the same zero-disruption approach.
