Cloud and infrastructure
Edge, databases, single sign-on, CI, observability and cost control.
1 to 5 days for most work. A migration is scheduled around your business, and platform work is often ongoing rather than a project with an end.
Fix something that is buckling under load
Measure before changing anything, most performance work fixes the wrong thing. Profile the real traffic, find where the time and money actually go, then fix it in order of impact: query plans and indexes, caching layers, the N+1s, and the architecture only if it genuinely is the architecture.
The problem
It worked at a hundred users and it is failing at ten thousand. Pages time out, the database is pinned, and the hosting bill is climbing faster than revenue.
How we approach it
Measure before changing anything, most performance work fixes the wrong thing. Profile the real traffic, find where the time and money actually go, then fix it in order of impact: query plans and indexes, caching layers, the N+1s, and the architecture only if it genuinely is the architecture.
What changes
Headroom, a measured before-and-after, and usually a smaller bill than you started with.
The service this falls under
Software development
Web apps, SaaS platforms, APIs and the systems underneath them.
1 to 7 days for most builds. A platform with many moving parts runs weeks to months, and the largest have gone to eight. It depends on the scope.
Industries where this comes up
Software and technology companies
Security review, automated usability testing, vulnerability scanning in CI, and the edge and bot policy that keeps a product reachable but not scrapeable.
