Technical Consulting

Architecture audits, infrastructure optimization, and CTO-level technical guidance We help companies evaluate, improve, and scale their technical systems — from backend and cloud infrastructure to DevOps pipelines, integrations, automation, and internal tools. Our consulting provides engineering leadership, architectural clarity, and a long-term technical roadmap aligned with your business goals. If you need a second opinion, are planning a major upgrade, or want to prevent future bottlenecks — this service is designed for you.

Problems Technical Consulting Solves

  • unclear or outdated architecture
  • slow system performance, crashes, or scaling issues
  • expensive infrastructure with no cost optimization
  • unreliable deployments, manual release processes
  • technical debt slowing down development
  • security gaps or missing monitoring
  • inconsistent engineering practices across teams
  • uncertainty about next steps in scaling or modernization
  • upcoming product launch with high risk
  • no CTO or technical leadership inside the company

Automation significantly reduces these risks and improves reliability across the delivery process.

What the Consulting Covers

Architecture Audit

A deep review of your current system architecture.

  • backend structure (microservices / monolith / APIs)
  • data flows and system boundaries
  • service dependencies and bottlenecks
  • API quality, versioning, and integration logic
  • scalability limits and system constraints
  • code quality and maintainability
  • You receive a clear report with risks, priorities, and actionable recommendations.

Infrastructure & DevOps Audit

We analyze how your deployment, operations, and reliability systems work.

  • Kubernetes clusters
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean)
  • backups, failover, disaster recovery
  • logging, monitoring, alerting
  • load balancing and autoscaling
  • security and access control
  • Includes specific improvements for uptime, performance, and reliability.

Performance Optimization & Cost Reduction

We identify slow parts of your system and eliminate inefficiencies.

  • slow API endpoints
  • long response times
  • heavy database queries
  • outdated caching strategies
  • excessive infrastructure spending
  • unoptimized compute, storage, or network usage
  • Many companies observe noticeable infrastructure cost reductions after optimization, depending on system complexity and usage patterns.

Security Review

We perform a security and compliance overview.

  • access control
  • secrets management
  • code vulnerabilities
  • configuration/security misalignments
  • infrastructure exposure risks
  • best practices for cloud and microservices
  • Includes a remediation plan and long-term security roadmap.

CTO-Level Advisory

For companies without a full-time CTO or with a growing tech organization.

  • strategic planning & scale roadmap
  • hiring and team structure guidance
  • technology stack decisions
  • reviewing partner/vendor solutions
  • product engineering strategy
  • support during investor or board discussions
  • technical due diligence
  • CTO-level advisory support without the need for a full-time executive role.

Technical Due Diligence

For M&A, investment, or acquisition scenarios.

  • We evaluate: codebase health, architectural sustainability, scalability limits, operational risks, team maturity, documentation quality, technological risks and blockers.
  • You receive a complete technical risk assessment with scoring.

Our Process

  1. 1Discovery — We collect requirements, goals, and current challenges.
  2. 2Technical Assessment — Deep analysis of systems, architecture, performance, and workflows.
  3. 3Findings Report — A structured document with: issues, risks, bottlenecks, cost inefficiencies, architecture weaknesses.
  4. 4Recommendations & Roadmap — Clear next steps with priorities, timelines, and technical details.
  5. 5Optional: Implementation Support — We can assist your team or execute improvements directly.

We help companies avoid risks, reduce costs, and build systems that scale safely.
