Welcome to Sparetimecoders.
We're an independent software and platform consultancy. Starting something new, untangling an integration that's seen better days, or just looking for a calm second opinion on a hard call — we're here to help. We design, build, and operate distributed systems alongside the teams who own them, and leave the place running better than we found it.
Services
How we help.
We work across most of the stack — from clusters to components — and slot in the way that fits your team: a full delivery crew, a senior specialist or two, or an end-to-end project. Cloud-native infrastructure and DevOps are our home turf.
-
01
Infrastructure & DevOps
Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and the boring guardrails that keep delivery fast and pages quiet. Our specialty.
-
02
Backend
Go and TypeScript services. GraphQL and REST APIs. Postgres, message queues, and the data modelling underneath.
-
03
Frontend
React applications that are quick to load, easy to use, and built to last beyond the next framework cycle.
-
04
Teams & delivery
Plug in a specialist, embed a full development team, or hand us a scoped project to deliver — whichever shape works for you.
Approach
Practical, hands-on, accountable.
-
01
Embedded, not external
We work inside your team — same standup, same backlog, same accountability. No throw-it-over-the-wall deliverables.
-
02
Production from day one
Tests, CI, observability, and rollouts are part of "done" — not a phase 2 we never reach.
-
03
Leave it better
We coach, document, and pair. When the engagement ends, the team owns it and runs faster than before.
Expertise
Consulting & coaching
Broad across the stack, deep where it counts. We're at our best in cloud-native territory — clusters, pipelines, services, and the glue between them — but we're just as comfortable shipping product features or sitting in with a team to lift their everyday craft.

About
Founded and run by Peter Svensson.
Sparetimecoders is run by Peter Svensson (he/him), a senior software architect and engineer based in Gothenburg, Sweden, and educated at Chalmers University of Technology. Years of building, leading, and mentoring across product and platform teams — with a steady focus on shipping clean, observable, well-tested systems.
The work spans GitOps with ArgoCD, cloud-native backends, and developer-experience platforms — comfortable across AWS, Scaleway, and Upcloud, plus the messy bits in between. We also maintain a small set of open-source Go libraries and Terraform modules around messaging (RabbitMQ/AMQP) and Kubernetes — built from real production needs, not lab examples.
Peter is also co-founder of Goodfeed, a SaaS platform for real-time project insights. The aim across everything is the same: leave teams faster, calmer, and more confident in production.

Cloud-native build-out, a platform team that needs a senior pair of hands, or just an honest second opinion — drop a note and we'll take it from there.
