Engineering

If your system is too slow, we measure first.

We take on bounded technical mandates for teams with a concrete problem: one place in the system that is too slow, too expensive or too fragile. No body leasing, no open-ended timesheet. One goal, one period, one result you can measure again yourself.

What we take on

Performance at the hot paths

A service that folds under load, a database that becomes the bottleneck, a network path that eats latency. We measure where the time really goes and fix the three most expensive places. Where it pays, we rewrite the path in Rust; where it does not, we say so.

Kubernetes that runs instead of keeping you busy

Clusters that need more attention than the applications on them. We look at etcd, the network stack, the runtime and the deploy path, and bring operations to a state a small team can keep.

Migrations without a standstill

Away from a provider, onto a new platform, out of a monolith or back into one. Planned so that operations continue during the move and the old state stays reachable at any time.

Sign-in and mail, connected properly

OpenID Connect, SAML for your enterprise customers, passkeys, transactional mail that gets delivered. On our platform or yours; we are attached to neither.

The fixed-price audit

Five days. We measure your system under real load, find the three slowest places and deliver a report with numbers, causes and the effort to fix each one. You then decide whether to do it yourself, engage us or do nothing. The report is yours.

  • Measurements you can repeat
  • Three places, ordered by effect
  • Effort per place, estimated honestly
  • No obligation afterwards

How a mandate runs

  1. 1 call You describe the problem, we say whether we are the right people. If not, we name someone.
  2. 1 page Goal, period, price and what is measurably different at the end. That is the offer, and it is the contract.
  3. Weekly A short status with numbers. You see what moves before the invoice arrives.

What we do not do: staff teams by the hour, projects without a defined end, and promises of availability for systems we do not run ourselves. We name prices in the call, because they depend on the problem, not on the hour.
