Client & platform guide
Everything you need to work with SunarCode.
SunarCode is a digital engineering & infrastructure automation studio. This guide explains what we build, how an engagement runs from first conversation to handover, and how to use your client portal to track projects, read live reports, review documents, and handle billing.
Overview
What SunarCode is
SunarCode designs and builds custom software and the automation that keeps it running. We work as a single engineering partner across the full stack — from the website and the product application, to the cloud infrastructure underneath, to the AI-assisted operations that reduce incidents once you are live. The name Sunar means goldsmith: precise, durable work, joined well. Our mark is two forged links interlaced — master craft, and the linked systems we build and maintain.
Most agencies stop at delivery. We are built around what happens after launch: automating the repetitive operational work, watching the systems, and proving the value back to you in numbers. That is why this platform is not a brochure — it demonstrates the automation we sell, and gives every client a live window into their own projects and infrastructure.
In one line
We build intelligent digital products and infrastructure automation systems that reduce operational overhead, improve reliability, and accelerate business growth.
Who we work with
Startups and SaaS companies who need senior engineering without hiring a full team; growing businesses modernizing legacy systems; and enterprises in regulated fields (healthcare, financial, logistics) who need a partner that can pass a security and procurement review. Whatever the size, the same senior engineers do the work, and the same audit-ready trail follows it.
Overview
What we do
Our work falls into four connected practices. Most engagements start in one and grow into the others — a build becomes a managed retainer, a migration uncovers automation worth keeping.
Web & Application Development
Custom websites, web and mobile apps, internal tools, dashboards, APIs, and automation scripts that take repetitive work off your team — shipped by senior engineers.
Infrastructure Automation
Infrastructure-as-code, self-healing pipelines, server provisioning, patch and compliance automation across AWS, GCP, and Azure — so ops runs itself, repeatably.
Application Modernization
Re-architecting legacy systems into observable, cloud-native services using strangler-fig migrations — incremental, low-risk, no big-bang rewrites.
AI-Powered InfraOps
Anomaly detection, AI-suggested root cause on incident tickets, log analysis, vulnerability reporting, and automated remediation on your observability stack.
Underneath these, concrete offerings include website and SaaS builds, iOS / Android / cross-platform apps, CI/CD and Kubernetes, Terraform IaC, backup and Active Directory automation, multi-cloud monitoring, and vulnerability intelligence. If it is engineering or operations, it is in scope — ask us if you are unsure.
Overview
The platform, end to end
Everything you touch — the public site, the estimator, the proposal you sign, the portal you log into afterwards — is one connected system, delivered in four layers, each building on the last.
As a client you mostly live in the middle two layers: you receive and sign proposals, then track the work and read your reports in the portal. The top and bottom layers are the public demos and the productized support that surround the engagement.
Working together
How an engagement runs
Every engagement follows the same five phases. You always know which phase you are in, what the next milestone is, and when it is due — the portal shows it, and billing is tied to it.
- 1
Discovery
A free consultation and, where useful, an infrastructure assessment. We agree the problem, the scope, and success measures before anyone commits.
- 2
Proposal
A written proposal with scope, line items, price, and terms. You review it in the portal or as a PDF and accept it with an e-signature — the moment the engagement officially begins.
- 3
Build
Design and engineering, organized into milestones on a visible timeline. You see progress, comments, and deliverables as they land — no waiting for a status email.
- 4
Automation
We wire up the operational automation — pipelines, monitoring, patching, alerting — so the system maintains itself and incidents drop.
- 5
Handover
Documentation, runbooks, and architecture diagrams land in your document vault, and your live infra report starts showing the value delivered. From here it is either done, or continues as a managed retainer.
Working together
Getting started as a new client
Here is the exact path from “interested” to “logged into the portal.”
- 1
Reach out
Book a consultation, request a proposal, or ask for an infrastructure assessment from any form on the site — or email contact@sunarcode.com. Every inquiry becomes a tracked request, so nothing gets lost.
- 2
Talk it through
We hold the discovery call, understand the work, and confirm scope. You can try the ROI calculator and live demos beforehand to size the opportunity yourself.
- 3
Receive your proposal
We send a scoped, priced proposal. You can read it as a web page or a PDF — see Proposals & signing.
- 4
Accept & get portal access
When you e-sign, your organization account is created and you receive an email invitation to set a password (or sign in with a linked account) and enter the portal.
Accounts & roles
Your company is one organization in our system, and it can have several users. You hold the client role, which can see only your own organization's data. Our team holds engineer and admin roles. You never see another client's information, and they never see yours.
Working together
Proposals & signing
A proposal is a scoped, priced, signable offer. Accepting one automatically creates your engagement and its billing schedule — there is no separate paperwork step.
Reviewing a proposal
- Open the link we send, or find it under Proposals in the portal.
- Review the scope, line items, total, currency, and terms.
- Download the PDF for your records or to circulate internally.
Accepting with e-signature
When you are ready, you accept and sign directly in the browser. We record the signer's name, email, timestamp, and a reference — a complete, auditable record of acceptance. The instant you sign:
- The proposal is marked accepted.
- An engagement is created and linked to your organization.
- The first invoice or retainer subscription is generated per the agreed billing model.
Agreements
Beyond proposals, we also send formal agreements (MSAs, SOWs, DPAs) through the same signing flow. They live under Agreements in the portal, each with its signed status and a downloadable copy.
The client portal
Your portal, at a glance
The portal is your private window into every engagement we run for you. It is organized into a handful of areas, each covered below.
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Projects | Status, progress, milestone timeline, and activity for every engagement. |
| Documents | Deliverables, runbooks, diagrams, and reports — over secure, expiring links. |
| Reports | Live infra metrics: tickets reduced, patch time, automation coverage, cost, uptime. |
| Billing | Invoices, payment history, current plan or retainer, and receipts. |
| Proposals & Agreements | Offers and contracts to review, sign, and keep. |
| Support | Raise tickets and search the knowledge base of guides and runbooks. |
The client portal
Projects & milestones
Open Projects to see each engagement as a live dashboard — no more asking “where are we?”
- Status & progress — current phase, percent complete, and the next milestone with its target date.
- Milestone timeline — discovery → build → automation → handover, each marked pending, active, or done.
- Activity feed & comments — updates and threaded discussion on the work, in context.
- Deliverables — each tracked from draft to delivered to accepted.
What you see vs. what we see
Every task, comment, and document carries a visibility flag. You see only the items marked client-visible — internal engineering chatter and scratch work stays on our side, so your view is always the clean, relevant picture.
The client portal
Documents
The Documents area is your vault: proposals, signed agreements, architecture diagrams, runbooks, audit outputs, and published reports — all in one place, scoped to your organization.
- Downloads use short-lived, signed links — a file is never sitting on a public URL.
- Documents can be tied to a specific engagement, so they are easy to find in context.
- Access is enforced on our servers by your role and the document's visibility — not by hiding a button.
The client portal
Live infrastructure reports
This is the part most vendors can't show you. Under Reports, each period turns the operational work into hard numbers — proof of the value the automation is delivering.
Each report covers a period and tracks:
- Tickets reduced — fewer incidents reaching your team.
- Patch time — before vs. after automation.
- Automation coverage — how much of ops now runs itself.
- Cost savings — reduced operational spend.
- Uptime / SLA — reliability over the period.
Reports can be published on a schedule and viewed as trends across periods, so the trajectory — not just a single snapshot — is always visible.
The client portal
Billing
The Billing tab shows your invoices, payment history, current plan or retainer, and downloadable receipts. We support the billing models and payment methods that fit both startups and enterprise procurement.
Fixed-fee
One-off project invoices for a defined scope.
Milestone
Invoices generated as agreed milestones are completed.
Retainer
Recurring subscriptions for managed InfraOps, including per-server metered usage.
Ways to pay
- Card or ACH via Stripe — self-serve, ideal for startups and SMBs.
- Bank transfer / purchase order — the enterprise path; no card required, reconciled against your PO.
- Region-aware tax is calculated automatically on every invoice.
Good to know
Payment state is always reconciled against Stripe as the source of truth, so what you see in the portal matches what actually cleared. Receipts are available to download the moment a payment settles.
The client portal
Support & knowledge base
Under Support you can raise a ticket and search a growing library of guides, how-tos, and runbooks.
Raising a ticket
- Give it a subject, a description, and a priority.
- Track it through triage, in-progress, and resolved.
- On intake, our own AI suggests a category and likely root cause to speed up the first response.
Reference
Trust, security & your data
Security is built into how the platform works, not bolted on. This matters especially for healthcare, financial, and other regulated clients who screen vendors before engaging.
- Role-based access is enforced on the server for every request; a client account can only reach its own organization's rows.
- Append-only audit log records every authenticated change — who, what, when — and cannot be edited or deleted.
- Encryption in transit and at rest; documents served only via short-lived signed links.
- Privacy & GDPR — cookie consent, a published privacy and cookie policy, and a data-subject request process.
- Compliance posture — SOC 2 / ISO 27001 roadmap, DPA available, data-residency options — detailed on our public Trust & Security page.
Our public status page shows component uptime and incident history, so you can verify reliability independently.

Interactive tools on the public site
Before you ever sign anything, three tools on the site let you evaluate us with real interaction rather than marketing copy.
ROI calculator
Enter your server count, cloud provider, and services to estimate the savings automation could unlock — and email yourself the estimate.
AI ticket demo
Paste a sample incident and watch the same engine that powers our support categorize it and suggest a root cause — live, in seconds.
Infra topology demo
An animated view of cloud nodes, pipelines, and monitoring reacting to a simulated live event feed.
Privacy of the demo
The AI demo is rate-limited, rejects personal data, and stores nothing you type beyond the moment it answers. It is a sandbox — safe to experiment with.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get access to the portal?
When you accept your first proposal, we create your organization account and email you an invitation to set a password. From then on you sign in at the portal with your email.
Can several people from my company have access?
Yes. Your organization can have multiple users, each with the client role. They all see the same organization data and nothing outside it. Ask us to invite additional teammates.
Do I have to pay by card?
No. Card and ACH are available for convenience, but enterprises can pay by bank transfer against a purchase order — no card required. We reconcile those manually and reflect status in your billing tab.
Where do the numbers in my infra report come from?
They are drawn from your own systems and the automation we run for you — tickets, patch runs, monitoring, and cost data — summarized per period. Reports are marked as either measured from ingested data or entered manually by your engineer.
Can another client ever see my data?
No. Access is enforced on our servers: a client account can only read rows belonging to its own organization and marked client-visible. Every access and change is recorded in an immutable audit log.
What happens after handover — is that the end?
It can be. Many clients continue on a managed retainer so we keep the automation healthy, keep patching and monitoring, and keep the infra report flowing. That is a subscription you can see and manage in the billing tab.
Do you sign DPAs and provide compliance documentation?
Yes. A DPA is available, and our Trust & Security page covers data handling, sub-processors, data residency, and our SOC 2 / ISO 27001 roadmap. Reach out for anything your procurement team needs.
