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 (North America overlap).

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 (Canada)

For Canadian teams, we focus on practical privacy and security: least-privilege access, clear boundaries, and reviewable operational controls.

We can align implementation with SOC 2 / ISO-friendly practices (without claiming certification) and support documented data flows.

  • SOC 2 / ISO-friendly patterns (no certification claims)
  • Least-privilege access and secure session handling
  • Retention/deletion and export flows where required
  • PII-safe logging + access boundary documentation
  • NDA and vendor onboarding docs on request

Timezone & Collaboration (North America)

We work with Canadian teams with North America overlap and meeting windows that fit your schedule.

Delivery stays predictable via weekly milestones, async updates, and clearly documented decisions.

  • North America overlap and responsive communication
  • Async-first updates with written scope decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and progress checkpoints
  • Clear escalation path for blockers
  • Tight change control with clear sign-offs

Engagement & Procurement (Canada)

We support procurement-friendly delivery: clear scope, change control, and billing cadence aligned to milestones when appropriate.

We can invoice in CAD for CAD-based engagements where required.

  • CAD-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Milestone-based billing and scope sign-offs
  • Time-and-materials for evolving requirements
  • Vendor onboarding pack on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (North America)

We keep quality visible: clean PRs, reviewable changes, and test coverage that matches the risk of each feature.

Performance budgets and release discipline help maintain stability as the product scales.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Structured release notes + rollback-safe deployments
  • Security checklist for auth, roles, and data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
