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 (Americas overlap (EST/PST-friendly)).

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Migrate from outdated frameworks (AngularJS, jQuery, Rails) to modern stacks (React, Next.js, Node.js).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

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 (US)

For US teams, we build with auditability in mind: clear access boundaries, least-privilege roles, and reviewable operational controls.

We can align delivery with SOC 2 / ISO-friendly practices (without claiming certification): evidence-ready logs, secure-by-default config, and clear ownership.

  • SOC 2 / ISO-friendly implementation patterns (no certification claims)
  • Least-privilege access and permission boundaries
  • Security review checklists for auth, payments, and data flows
  • PII-safe logging + incident response playbooks (on request)
  • Retention and deletion flows where required
  • NDA + vendor onboarding docs on request

Timezone & Collaboration (Americas)

We support teams across the Americas with meeting windows that work for EST/CST/MST/PST.

We keep delivery predictable with weekly milestones, concise async updates, and written decisions to reduce calendar load.

  • Americas overlap with EST/PST-friendly windows
  • Async-first updates with written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos + change control
  • Fast turnaround on blockers and clarifications
  • Clear owner per workstream and escalation path

Engagement & Procurement (US)

US-friendly engagement structure: clear SOWs, milestone billing, and invoice cadence that fits typical procurement workflows.

If you need vendor onboarding artefacts, we can provide security posture summaries and delivery process documentation.

  • USD invoicing and milestone-based payment schedules
  • SOW + scope lock options for fixed-scope work
  • Time-and-materials for evolving requirements
  • Procurement-ready documentation on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (US)

We ship with a security-first checklist and performance budgets—so releases stay stable under real traffic.

Expect clean PRs, reviewable changes, and production-ready testing from day one.

  • Threat-aware checks for auth, roles, and sensitive data flows
  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + critical path smoke tests
  • Performance budgets (Core Web Vitals-minded) and bundle checks
  • Structured logging + error tracking hooks (Sentry-ready)
  • Rollback-safe releases and clear release notes
