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. Stabilisation work: performance triage, reliability fixes, and delivery velocity recovery (EU overlap (CET/CEST-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 (EU)

For Germany/EU delivery, we keep GDPR-first patterns: data minimisation, purpose-limited storage, and explicit access boundaries.

We can work under a DPA (template available on request) and implement pragmatic retention/deletion flows when needed.

  • GDPR-first architecture patterns (generic, no legal claims)
  • DPA template available on request
  • Retention/deletion and export flows where required
  • Least-privilege access and safe logging defaults
  • Documented data flows and access boundaries

Timezone & Collaboration (EU)

We align to EU working hours with CET-friendly collaboration windows and async progress updates.

We keep delivery predictable: weekly milestones, documented decisions, and clear scope control.

  • EU overlap with CET-friendly windows
  • Async-first delivery with written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and progress checkpoints
  • Clear change control to avoid surprises
  • Escalation path for blockers and risks

Engagement & Procurement (EU)

We support procurement-friendly engagements with clear scopes, milestone plans, and documentation that stakeholders can review.

For EU teams, we can structure invoices and milestones for EUR-based engagements where appropriate.

  • EUR-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Discovery-first option to reduce delivery risk
  • Milestone-based billing and scope sign-offs
  • Vendor onboarding documentation on request
  • Transparent change control and approvals

Security & Quality (EU)

We prioritise reliability: reviewable PRs, predictable releases, and tests that protect critical paths.

Performance budgets and clear release discipline keep the product stable as it grows.

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