Rescue & Scale

Rescue & Scale

We rescue projects that are stuck, slow, or unstable. From performance bottlenecks to messy architecture, we audit, refactor, and harden your codebase so your team can ship confidently again. Rescue engagements focused on measurable wins and safe refactors (APAC overlap (AEST/AEDT-friendly)).

Features

What we deliver

Performance Rescue

Identify bottlenecks, reduce load times, improve caching, and fix UI jank with measurable outcomes.

Refactoring & Cleanup

Remove tech debt safely: simplify modules, improve types, reduce duplication, and make the codebase easier to change.

Stability & Error Handling

Fix crashes and production issues with better boundaries, retries, logging, and predictable failure modes.

Security Hygiene

Basic hardening: secret handling, unsafe inputs, dependency risks, and risky endpoints—without heavy process overhead.

Build & Deployment Reliability

Reduce release risk with CI tweaks, environment separation, and safer rollouts.

Prioritized Action Plan

A clear list of fixes and improvements with effort/impact so you can keep shipping after the rescue.

Use Cases

Who this is for

Slow website or dashboard

Fix load times, rendering bottlenecks, and caching so users get a fast, stable experience.

Unstable production app

Crash fixes, edge-case handling, and better error boundaries with clearer logging and monitoring.

Tech debt is blocking features

Refactor high-churn areas so your team can deliver new features without regressions.

Scaling pains

Harden infra and code for growth: database tuning, background jobs, and safer deployments.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Timeline depends on scope. MVPs typically take 8-12 weeks, while larger projects can take 4-6 months. We provide detailed timelines during the estimate phase.

We offer both fixed-price and time-and-materials pricing. Fixed-price works best for well-defined projects, while T&M is ideal for evolving requirements.

Yes, we offer maintenance packages including bug fixes, security updates, and feature enhancements after launch.

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (AU)

For Australian teams, we keep privacy and data-handling explicit: access boundaries, safe logging, and clear retention policies.

We can support residency-sensitive designs (where feasible) and document data flows for stakeholder review.

  • Privacy Act-aware delivery posture (generic, no legal claims)
  • Documented data flows and access boundaries
  • Retention/deletion options where required
  • PII-safe logging and least-privilege defaults
  • NDA and DPA templates available on request

Timezone & Collaboration (APAC)

We support APAC collaboration with AEST/AEDT-friendly meeting windows and async progress updates.

We keep momentum with weekly milestones, crisp priorities, and predictable release planning.

  • APAC overlap with AEST/AEDT windows
  • Async-first updates and written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and scope control
  • Release planning with staged rollouts
  • Clear escalation path for blockers

Engagement & Procurement (AU)

We can structure engagements with clear scope, milestones, and invoicing that fits common procurement expectations.

If you need a lightweight vendor onboarding pack, we can provide delivery process notes and security posture summaries.

  • AUD-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Milestone-based billing for fixed-scope work
  • Time-and-materials for evolving scope
  • Procurement-friendly documentation on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (APAC)

With APAC teams, async clarity matters: written decisions, stable releases, and test coverage that prevents regressions.

We use performance budgets and release checklists so handoffs stay smooth across timezones.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Release checklist + rollback plan for production launches
  • Security checklist for auth and sensitive data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
