We Build Confidence Through Testing
Started in a Bangkok co-working space back in early 2021, we've spent the last four years figuring out what works when APIs break at 3am and integrations fail right before launch.
How This Started
Three developers walked into a coffee shop. Sounds like the start of a joke, but that's actually how brighton-flareon began. We'd all dealt with the same frustrations - watching perfectly good applications fall apart because someone forgot to test the payment gateway integration or didn't catch that the third-party API changed their response format.
Nobody sets out to launch buggy integrations. But when you're racing toward deadlines and juggling multiple systems, things slip through. We started offering API testing as a side service to friends running small tech companies around Sukhumvit. Word spread faster than we expected.
By mid-2022, we'd moved into an actual office on Prasert-Manukitch Road and brought on specialists who actually enjoyed the detective work of tracking down why System A suddenly stopped talking to System B.
What Drives Our Work
These aren't corporate buzzwords printed on our wall. They're the principles that shaped how we operate when projects get messy.
Real Communication
We explain what broke and why it matters in plain language. No point hiding behind technical jargon when your payment system isn't processing transactions properly.
Practical Solutions
Theory is nice. Fixing your integration before customers notice the problem is better. We focus on what actually resolves issues rather than what sounds impressive in meetings.
Honest Assessment
Sometimes the problem isn't what you think it is. We'll tell you if your integration is solid but your API provider is flaky. Or if the issue is on your end and here's how to address it.
Our Testing Process
Each project is different, but we follow a consistent framework that catches issues before they become expensive problems.
Understanding Your Stack
We start by mapping out your actual architecture. Not what the documentation says you have, but what's actually running in production. This means looking at your API endpoints, understanding data flows, and identifying where systems connect.
Takes us about a week for most setups. Sometimes longer if you're dealing with legacy systems that nobody quite remembers how they work.
Building Test Coverage
Once we understand your setup, we develop targeted test scenarios. This covers the obvious stuff like checking if your API returns the right status codes, but also the edge cases that break at inconvenient times.
What happens when the external service times out? How does your system handle malformed data? Does everything still work when request volume spikes during promotions?
Continuous Validation
Testing isn't a one-time checkbox. APIs change. Third-party services update without warning. We set up ongoing monitoring that alerts you when integrations start behaving differently.
Think of it as a smoke detector for your technical infrastructure. Most days nothing happens. But when something does go wrong, you know immediately instead of finding out from angry customers.
Who We Work With
Our clients range from fintech startups dealing with payment gateway integrations to established e-commerce platforms managing inventory across multiple channels. Some need help before launching new features. Others call us after something broke and they need to figure out why.
We're based in Bangkok but work with companies throughout Thailand and occasionally beyond. Remote testing works fine for most projects, though we meet in person when it makes sense to sit down and walk through complex integrations together.
If you're dealing with API issues or want to strengthen your integration testing before problems start, we should talk. No commitments required - just a conversation about what you're building and where the weak points might be.
