Rescue & Scale

Code Refactoring & Modernization

Clean up technical debt, modernize legacy code, and improve maintainability. We restructure messy codebases, establish best practices, and make your codebase a joy to work with. Modernisation that reduces tech debt without breaking production (North America overlap).

Features

What we deliver

Legacy Migration

Migrate from outdated frameworks (AngularJS, jQuery, Rails) to modern stacks (React, Next.js, Node.js).

TypeScript Migration

Add type safety to JavaScript codebases. Catch bugs at compile time and improve developer experience.

Architecture Improvements

Break monoliths into microservices or modular architecture. Improve code organization and maintainability.

Test Coverage

Add comprehensive test suites with unit, integration, and end-to-end tests for confidence in changes.

Error Handling

Implement proper error handling, logging, and monitoring for production-ready applications.

Documentation

Code documentation, architecture diagrams, and developer guides for team knowledge sharing.

Migration Projects

Migrate from legacy frameworks to modern stacks. Maintain feature parity while improving performance.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We write tests before refactoring, refactor incrementally, and test after each change. We maintain feature parity and use staging environments.

Yes. We refactor incrementally while building new features, improving code structure as we work to reduce risk and allow continuous delivery.

We write tests for critical paths first, use characterization tests to understand existing behavior, then improve code safely and incrementally.

Standards for code style (ESLint, Prettier), architecture patterns, testing practices, documentation, and Git workflows tailored to your team.

Regional

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
