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 (UK/EU overlap (GMT/BST-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 (UK/EU)

For UK teams, we default to GDPR-first thinking: data minimisation, purpose-limited storage, and clear access boundaries.

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

  • GDPR-first patterns (minimise, restrict, document)
  • DPA template available on request
  • Retention/deletion and export flows where required
  • Least-privilege access and secure session handling
  • PII-safe logging + secure-by-default configuration
  • NDA available for early-stage discussions

Timezone & Collaboration (UK/EU)

We align to UK time and EU overlap (GMT/BST with CET-friendly windows) for fast feedback cycles.

We keep the process lightweight: async updates, clear priorities, and written decisions to avoid ambiguity.

  • UK/EU overlap with GMT/BST windows
  • Async-first delivery with documented scope
  • Weekly milestones and structured demos
  • Clear escalation path for blockers
  • Tight change control with clear sign-offs

Engagement & Procurement (UK)

We support typical UK procurement flows with clear scopes, change control, and invoice cadence.

If you prefer a discovery-first engagement, we can run a short paid discovery to lock requirements before build.

  • GBP-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Discovery-first option to reduce delivery risk
  • Milestone-based billing when appropriate
  • Transparent change control and sign-offs
  • Vendor onboarding pack on request

Security & Quality (UK/EU)

We build for reliability and maintainability: clean PRs, tight review loops, and test coverage that matches risk.

Performance budgets and release checklists keep launches predictable—especially when multiple stakeholders review changes.

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