Oil up your existing services and processes to help your team move faster, or have us review a proposal or technical design.
Services & Architecture
Looking to bring an idea to life but want to determine technical feasibility of first? We can nurture the idea as far as you’d like, from design to prototype to alpha to MVP. Feedback can be comprehensive or targeted, focusing on areas such as cost, feasibility, technical difficulty, market reach, etc.
Have something you’ve already built that needs some love? Bring your ecosystem, project, team or tool to us and let us suggest improvements around:
- Tooling - Bad build pipelines and deployment processes suck away time and energy. Enjoy the tools you work with by making sure they’re best-in-class.
- Best Practices - Make maintaining your ecosystem easier. Bring consistency through guidelines for language, library and tool choices. Reduce context switching costs by enforcing homogeneity wherever possible.
- Architecture - Building simple, functional systems is an art form. We’ll assess where you can simplify and improve by creating a comprehensive overview.
- Cost savings - Cloud spending can easily explode out of proportion. Let us leverage our experience to analyze your spending and realize potential cost savings.
- Documentation - Often neglected, always important. Shore up your core documentation, boost developer speed and morale, accelerate onboarding, or just make complex systems decipherable.
- Diagnosability & Traceability - Get back on your feet quickly after an outage by understanding when and where the issue occurred using alerting, metrics and error capturing. Figure out where the blind spots are and fix them with targeted dashboards, alarms and notifications.
- Optimization - We love algorithms and runtime complexity. Let us profile your individual services, APIs, databases, or distributed queries. Improve performance in the areas that actually matter.
Internal Processes
Most teams have probably experienced a situation where the machine isn’t firing on all cylinders. Technical debt might be slowing down iteration. Communication between product and engineering might not be happening as often or as efficiently as at should. Planning might be getting derailed on the details, or projects are beginning with too loose a roadmap. Let us come in and help. By working with your team we’ll figure out what the most important issues are, where the lie, and how best to eliminate them.
