Runtime Revolution

A good fit

Runtime Revolution fits companies that already run software in production and need engineering capacity rather than strategy documents. The site defines three buyer segments: enterprise organisations that already have an in-house engineering group, Series B and later scale-ups, and seed to Series A startups. Published industry pages cover healthcare, eCommerce and retail, fintech and insurance, travel and hospitality, and energy and sustainability. The about page names Microsoft, L'Oréal, Vodafone, Broadcom, ShermansTravel, CityRow, MEMO and HealthHive among the companies the team has built with. Published engagements are described as running for years rather than sprints, and all client-facing material on the site is in English.

Services

Three service lines are published. Team Integration embeds engineering squads that work with AI tooling inside a client's existing team. Agentic Systems designs and deploys custom agents for business processes and ships them with evaluations, runbooks, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, override paths and an audit trail. Product Engineering covers product design, build, infrastructure, support and ongoing feature cycles across the full lifecycle. Core stacks listed are Ruby on Rails, Python, Node.js and React, with Anthropic, OpenAI and Gemini named among the AI technologies used. The company states that code, prompts, evaluations, runbooks and dashboards live in the client's own repository, and that a fixed-fee, fixed-scope process diagnosis gates whether a build proceeds.

Representative work

A published case study describes migrating ShermansTravel from WordPress and PHP to Ruby on Rails in 2011 and then scaling the travel-media platform, including a proprietary deals, reporting and analytics system and a post-click intermediary page tuned to a sub-two-second load-and-redirect target under thousands of concurrent requests. A second case study covers MEMO, a public-relations readership and sentiment analytics platform built between 2020 and 2022 with a stated throughput target of 5,000 events per second and 1,408 premium publishers integrated. A third describes CityRow, a connected-fitness platform spanning a multi-currency commerce site, a Bluetooth-enabled mobile app and an embedded tablet application with over-the-air updates, built between 2018 and 2022.

Notes

Runtime Revolution was founded in Lisbon in 2008 and marks Lisbon as its headquarters at Avenida da Igreja 42, with a second office in New York described as a sales presence on United States hours; the about page states that engineering is kept in a single Lisbon team with no offshoring or subcontracting. The site is published in English only, while the company's structured data lists English and Portuguese as available languages. The about page reports more than 100 engineers and the homepage cites more than 150, so the exact team size is unconfirmed. The contact page carries a project enquiry form and is used as the buyer contact destination.
