Testimonials
What They Say About Us
I can't recommend Lucas Calestini and Real Retina enough! The Société de la Place des Arts, the largest performing arts centre in Canada, hired Real Retina to develop a proprietary tool aimed to forecast ticket sales and recommend ticket prices at various points in the sales period. We could not have hoped for better results, support and commitment to respect the calendar. The tool he has developed has been quickly adopted by our organization.
We hired Real Retina for a cohort analysis. They understood the objective immediately and delivered a very comprehensive analysis of our customers cohorts. They didn't stop there, Real Retina provided us with other very insightful metrics which we had not acknowledged, as well as some business recommendations based on their analysis.
I've had the privilege of closely collaborating with Lucas, and he's exceptional. Beyond his technical expertise, Lucas stands out for his remarkable interpersonal skills. He approaches challenges with intelligence, patience, and a frank demeanor. His attention to detail is matched by his ability to see the bigger picture. What truly distinguishes Lucas is his creativity and problem-solving ability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Staff augmentation means our engineers work directly with your team on an ongoing basis—you get dedicated expertise without the hiring overhead. Project-based work means we handle entire projects end-to-end with defined deliverables and timelines. Both models can include long-term maintenance.
Absolutely. Platform maintenance is one of our core strengths. We offer proactive monitoring, regular updates, bug fixes, and continuous optimization through monthly retainer packages. Unlike many agencies, we don't just build and leave—we maintain long-term relationships.
We specialize in hosting and managing popular open-source tools like Metabase, Apache Superset (analytics), Apache Airflow, n8n (workflow automation), and similar platforms. We handle all the DevOps—setup, configuration, hosting, updates, and monitoring—so you can focus on using the tools, not maintaining them.
While we often deploy on AWS/GCP, we handle all the complexity for you. You get a fully configured, production-ready tool with ongoing maintenance, updates, backups, and expert support. It's perfect for SMEs who want enterprise-grade tools without needing a DevOps team.
We work across various industries including retail, SaaS, life-sciences, sports, entertainment, and manufacturing. Our team has experience with diverse data sources including databases, REST/GraphQL APIs, web scraping, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and legacy systems.
For staff augmentation, we can often start within 1-2 weeks. For projects, we begin with a scoping call, then provide a detailed proposal with timelines. Managed hosting setups typically take 1-2 weeks. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your specific needs.
