You’ll receive a concise PDF report plus a 20-point self-assessment checklist. The PDF covers the cost model, the most common backend anti-patterns with fixes, three short case studies, and a practical 90-day remediation roadmap. The checklist helps you surface your top 3 issues to tackle first.

CTOs, Heads of Engineering, Product Leads and Founders. It’s most useful when:

• Incidents are rising or releases feel risky.
• Cloud spend keeps climbing without clear value.
• You’re planning a re-platforming, migration, or scale-up.
• Teams move slowly due to hidden technical debt.

No — it’s primarily for live products with legacy or fast-growing backends. The recommendations show how to stabilize what you have, prioritize fixes, and modernize safely (e.g., using the Strangler Fig pattern) without big-bang rewrites.

Yes. Typical engagement: a 1–2 week assessment and prioritization, then a 90-day delivery phase focused on reliability, performance, security and CI/CD. We co-deliver with your team or act as an extension, with clear SLOs and weekly progress.

Backends: Node.js/TypeScript, Java/Kotlin, .NET, Python. Data: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, Redis. Cloud & runtime: AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes/Docker. CI/CD & ops: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Argo CD, Terraform.

Absolutely. We run structured backend audits covering architecture, code quality, data layer, CI/CD, monitoring and costs. Within 2–3 weeks you’ll get a full report, quick wins, and a roadmap with estimated ROI for each initiative.
