Bespoke SaaS Infrastructure for Product Visualization
Case Study: Xenbuild
Xenbuild partnered with Melt Studio to accelerate the development of a software visualization platform that turns complex system architectures into intuitive, interactive maps. The collaboration focused on delivering a robust front-end experience that supports real-time insight into APIs, user flows, and data interactions—empowering product teams to understand their systems holistically.
THE CHALLENGE
Visualizing Systems Without Writing Code
Xenbuild needed to simplify how product teams and engineers understand their application architecture—without diving into raw code or fragmented documentation. The challenge: deliver a frontend UI capable of mapping relationships across APIs, interfaces, and user flows while remaining responsive, modular, and easy to maintain.
INITIAL STATE
OUR SOLUTION
Interactive Frontend for Mapping APIs and User Flows
Requirements
Simplification
Our priority was to reduce friction for end users by designing a UI layer that maps technical components—screens, APIs, and flows—into a clear, visual canvas without requiring code or database queries.
Application
Building
Using a React-based framework, our team implemented interactive components that render dynamic relationships between elements. The architecture supports scalable updates and integrates with Xenbuild’s proprietary logic.
Prototype
Release
We delivered a responsive prototype with complete UI coverage and embedded demo data. This allowed the Xenbuild team to test product flows, validate user scenarios, and define future feature sets with clarity.
DELIVER STATE
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Foundational UI Delivered, Ready for Product Expansion
With the prototype in place, Xenbuild gained momentum in investor conversations and internal roadmap planning. Melt’s modular UI approach now enables fast iteration and confident scale-up as the platform evolves from prototype to live product.

let me know if i can support, but i have no skin in the game.
also, if you were to bless it, i could post it (so that it's not coming from you guys) and just say something like
"These are people that I've worked with for 5 years and have become good friends with. They are doing this radical thing and it seemed like the kind of thing that could help this community. I asked Michael to bless me posting this, but this is unrelated to Establish.
I am also happy to hop on a call or slack with anyone who might be interested but looking for references or even just guidance on app development side."
but also you can just say "naw, it muddies the waters" and I'll shut up 😛
I may just have him do a talk for everyone
Sounds really great
oh that would be really cool
He has a great deck about how it's better to go to the grocery store and buy buns and tomatoes and lettuce to make burgers, and focus your energy on the "secret sauce" - where most startups spend all their time becoming tomato farmers.

A quick shoutout to Melt, it's been several months now and it's clear that our new dev team has been crushing expectations all around. Shoutout to Camila who has been killing it on uhc and flex, especially on uhc, which basically gave us documentation for a platform that only exists in their dreams. Considering she's doing this without a test environment which uhc guaranteed us, Camila has put in a lot of elbow grease to make this implementation seemingly smooth sailing. Additional shoutouts to Yuli and Miguel who both have stepped into the shoes of past RPS teammates to support internal operational functions as well as put the pedal on the gas to churn out product developments. Lastly to Yulys and Austin who have seamlessly taken in the project reigns from Natali alongside the rest of Melt. Special shoutout to Sebastian who is always helping from the shadows but more recently has been contributing a great deal of effort to help resolve some longstanding revenue analytics issues. So thank you to our Melt teammates for being able to hop in immediately, helping EM put some very big pieces into place at this critical moment of our company's growth! 🎉🎉
