Custom Software Development in Cape Town
ProteaByte is a Cape Town software engineering company serving the Western Cape and clients across South Africa. For 25+ years we've designed and run scalable, high-availability systems on AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Cloudflare for finance, sports betting, gaming, healthcare, retail, and logistics. We also act as a long-term technology partner, and we build web and mobile apps to the same standard.
Why work with a Cape Town software development team
Local presence, senior engineering, and a track record across South Africa's most demanding industries.
On the ground in the Western Cape
We're a Cape Town-based team — not a foreign agency reselling offshore hours. That means same-timezone collaboration, in-person workshops when they matter, and an understanding of the local regulatory and payment landscape (POPIA, PayFast, Peach, local banking).
Proven at scale, not slideware
25+ years building and operating systems for finance, accounting, sports betting, gaming, healthcare, and logistics — platforms that process hundreds of millions of transactions a month at 99.99% uptime.
Senior engineers, end to end
You work with the people writing the code. Architecture, build, integration, deployment, and the long tail of support — handled by a small senior team rather than passed down a chain of juniors.
A long-term technology partner
From fractional CTO and architecture reviews to a retained engineering team, we stay accountable for your systems — with deep AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Cloudflare expertise behind them.
