Audit Performance

Technical & performance audit

A senior, outside look at your application: what slows it down, what threatens it, what it costs, and the plan to fix it.

01The need

Your application is slow, your costs are climbing, or you've inherited code that nobody understands. Before investing blindly, you want a clear, prioritized diagnosis. We audit, we quantify the impact, we recommend. You decide.

02What we audit

  • Performance (frontend, backend, database)
  • Code quality and maintainability
  • Architecture and how well it scales
  • Security and dependencies
  • Infrastructure costs
  • Prioritized action plan with estimates

03What you get

You leave with a clear, jargon-free report: issues ranked by impact and effort, actionable recommendations, and a plan your team can execute, with or without us. No black box.

04How we work with you

We start by framing the scope with you and gathering what we need: access to the code, the infrastructure, the metrics, and a session with your team. You stay in control of what you open up to us, and an NDA is signed on request before we touch anything. No need to document everything beforehand: we work with what exists.

Then we analyse, along four axes: performance (frontend, backend, database), code quality and maintainability, architecture and its ability to handle load, security and dependencies. We dig where it matters to you rather than skimming everything. At the end, we walk you through it in person: we explain what we found, answer questions, and make sure your team understands the reasoning behind each recommendation. The whole thing fits in 3 to 5 days for a short audit.

05What you get

The deliverable is meant to be read by you, not just by developers. We rank the issues so you know where to start, and every recommendation is concrete.

  • A clear, jargon-free report, readable by management and by a technical team alike
  • Issues prioritized by impact and effort, so you can decide quickly
  • Actionable recommendations, not generalities
  • A prioritized, costed action plan your team can run on its own
  • A live debrief and a knowledge transfer to your team

06When to call us

An audit is not always necessary. Here are the moments where it really makes a difference. If you are unsure, the first call is free and we will tell you honestly whether it is useful in your case.

  • Your application is slow and you do not know why
  • You are preparing an acquisition or a fundraise and need an outside view on the code
  • You have doubts about code quality before investing or hiring
  • You anticipate a surge in load and want to know whether the architecture will hold

Frequently asked questions

What does a technical audit cover?

We look at performance (frontend, backend, database), code quality and maintainability, architecture and how well it scales, security and dependencies, and infrastructure costs. The exact scope is defined together based on your context. We discuss it on the first call, which is free.

How long does an audit take?

A short audit runs over 3 to 5 days, as a fixed package. The duration depends on the size of your application and the scope agreed on. We frame it together before starting, and you get a detailed quote within 48 hours.

What do you get at the end?

A clear, jargon-free report: issues ranked by impact and effort, actionable recommendations, and a prioritized, costed action plan. Your team can execute it, with or without us. No black box.

How do you handle confidentiality?

We sign an NDA on request, before touching anything. Your code, access and documentation stay entirely yours. We are used to regulated sectors: public, healthcare, telecoms.

Can you then fix what you find?

Yes, if you want. The audit is designed to be executed by your own team, but we can take over on a project engagement or fractional CTO basis to handle the priority items. No obligation: you decide after the report.
