Intelligent software, engineered for the real world.

4May Global is a Canadian technology firm. We build production software and AI agents, align operations to the platforms you already own, and bring discipline to cloud spend.

Services

Four practices, one engineering standard.

Whether we are writing the code, reshaping a process or reading a cloud bill, the work is scoped, measured and handed over properly.

01

Software Product Engineering

We design and build production-grade platforms, APIs and internal tools - with the architecture, testing and observability that keep them maintainable long after launch.

  • Technical discovery & solution architecture
  • Web platforms, APIs & integrations
  • Legacy modernization
  • CI/CD, automated testing & observability
02

Operations & Process Alignment

Teams often bend new software to fit old habits, then pay for it in workarounds. We map how work actually flows and redesign your processes around the platforms you have already invested in, so you realize the value you paid for.

  • Current-state process mapping
  • Platform capability & fit-gap analysis
  • Workflow redesign & automation
  • Adoption & change enablement
03

Agentic AI - Voice & Text

Advisory and engineering for AI agents that work over chat and over the phone: from use-case selection and conversation design to integration, evaluation and production monitoring.

  • Use-case discovery & feasibility
  • Voice agents: speech, telephony & real-time response
  • Text agents grounded in your data and tools
  • Evaluation, guardrails & observability
04

Cloud FinOps

We go through your cloud bill service by service, rightsize or retire what is over-provisioned, and put tagging, budgets and reporting in place so the savings hold.

  • Cost & usage deep-dive
  • Rightsizing & downsizing
  • Commitment planning (reserved capacity, savings plans)
  • Tagging, cost allocation & governance

Approach

How we work.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Understand the business goal, the current systems and where the real constraints are.

  2. 02

    Design

    Agree on a scoped plan with clear success measures before any build begins.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Ship in short, reviewable increments, with your team involved throughout.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Hand over documentation, monitoring and the know-how to run it independently.

Field notes

The facts behind our practices.

A few well-documented findings and frameworks that shape how we scope and deliver work.

27%

of cloud spend is wasted

That is what organizations themselves estimate. Idle and over-provisioned resources are usually the first place we look.

~200 ms

typical gap between turns in human conversation

People judge a voice agent against that rhythm, so we design and measure for response latency from day one.

key metrics for software delivery

Deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate and time to restore. Research shows speed and stability improve together.

phases of a FinOps practice

Inform, Optimize, Operate. Cost visibility comes first; savings that last depend on ongoing ownership, not a one-off cleanup.

Open source

Tools we have built and share.

Libraries and developer tools from our engineering team, published openly for anyone to use.

  • fastapi-metrics

    Python

    Zero-config metrics and observability for FastAPI apps. Request latency, business metrics, health checks, LLM cost tracking and an MCP server, with no Prometheus or Grafana required.

  • easy-s3-multipart

    Python

    A production-ready library for large file uploads to AWS S3 from FastAPI, using multipart uploads with presigned URLs, progress tracking and cleanup of incomplete uploads.

  • ClawTools

    Go

    MCP tool connectors that let any AI agent work with services like Gmail and Google Calendar, running entirely on your own hardware with tokens kept local.

  • claw-setup-wizard

    Go

    A browser-based setup wizard for PicoClaw agents: LLM provider setup, Telegram, personality configuration, boot services and OAuth tool connections in six guided steps.
