Code ownership and deliverables standard: Zero vendor lock-in.
Our Code Ownership and Deliverables Standard guarantees that clients own 100% of the custom automation code, data pipelines, and infrastructure configurations we build. You receive complete Git repositories with clean TypeScript and Python code, Docker containers, automated test suites, and deployment blueprints. There are zero proprietary runtime locks and zero recurring platform fees.
What you receive at the conclusion of every build.
We treat your automation as core business infrastructure, not an ephemeral SaaS subscription.
1. Full Git Repository Transfer
Complete source code repository delivered directly to your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket organization with clean branch structures, commit messages, and full revision history.
2. Zero Proprietary Lock-In
Built exclusively on open, modern standards: TypeScript, Python, Docker, PostgreSQL, and Serverless frameworks. No proprietary visual drag-and-drop engines or runtime keys.
3. Automated Test Suites
Every build includes comprehensive unit and integration tests covering API edge cases, malformed payloads, rate limit recovery, and mathematical reconciliation rules.
4. Infrastructure-as-Code
Terraform, Serverless framework, or Docker Compose templates that allow your DevOps team to spin up staging or production environments with a single command.
5. Architecture Documentation
Complete technical markdown documentation covering API credentials, webhook endpoints, error codes, and maintenance playbooks so your engineers can operate the pipeline independently.
Zero Ongoing Seat Taxes
You never pay AIAutomationBuilt recurring fees to execute your own automated code. Your only running costs are raw cloud compute (AWS/GCP), paid directly to the cloud host.
Code ownership: Frequently asked questions.
Detailed answers on IP rights, licensing, repository transfers, and hosting.
How and when is the source code transferred to our company?
We initialize a private Git repository under your company’s GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket organization at project kickoff, or transfer full administrative ownership upon milestone completion. You have continuous visibility into commit history, branching, and pull requests throughout the engagement.
Are there any hidden proprietary runtimes or ongoing licensing fees?
None. Every pipeline is engineered using standard, industry-standard languages (Python, TypeScript/Node.js) and open tools (Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, Serverless). We never deploy proprietary runtime wrappers or charge ongoing per-operation licensing fees.
Can our internal engineering team maintain and extend the code?
Yes. Clean code architecture, strict TypeScript schemas, and comprehensive documentation are core deliverables. Any intermediate Python or JavaScript developer can easily read, modify, and extend the system without relying on proprietary certification.
What cloud infrastructure is required to host the custom automation?
Our systems deploy directly into your cloud accounts (AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Run, Azure Functions, or dedicated Linux servers). Cloud compute costs for serverless workflow execution are typically under $15 to $50 per month, paid directly to your cloud provider.
Do you provide maintenance and support after code handover?
Yes. Every project includes a 30-day post-deployment warranty covering bug fixes and schema adjustments. Afterward, clients can choose between self-hosting with zero retainer obligations or engaging our team for ongoing monitoring and feature expansion.
Have a custom architecture or compliance requirement?
We sign non-disclosure agreements before reviewing internal workflows or schemas.
