Open Source

Projects we maintain publicly

We contribute reusable tooling and libraries that support modern API and event-driven engineering.

GUSTO

A lightweight .NET background job runner where you own storage and orchestration abstractions, then opt in to extensions like batching, continuations, cron scheduling, retries, and observability.

AsyncAPI.NET

.NET tooling for working with AsyncAPI specifications and integrating event-driven contracts in real-world services.

Consulting Focus

What we help teams build and improve

Developer Experience

Diagnose friction in local development, CI/CD, and platform workflows, then remove bottlenecks that slow delivery.

API Strategy & Governance

Define how your services communicate. We build robust REST and AsyncAPI standards that ensure your internal and external integrations are consistent, discoverable, and secure.

Event-Driven Architecture

Shape event models, boundaries, and reliability patterns that keep distributed systems understandable as they grow.

How We Work

Hands-on, outcome-oriented collaboration

1. Diagnose

We map delivery flow, architecture constraints, and team pain points to identify the highest-leverage intervention areas.

2. Design

We define practical target states for platforms, APIs, or event systems with explicit tradeoffs and execution sequence.

3. Deliver

We pair with your team to implement, not just advise, and keep the changes measurable against engineering outcomes.

4. Enable

We leave teams with playbooks, standards, and guardrails so velocity stays high after the engagement ends.

About ByteBard

Built for teams that care about software quality and delivery speed

ByteBard is a Copenhagen-based software consultancy and product studio. We work with engineering organizations that need better developer workflows and stronger technical foundations to scale.

Our work sits where product decisions, architecture, and delivery execution meet. We focus on clear contracts, resilient systems, and practical improvements teams can sustain long term.
