Performance-first Fixed-scope (1–3 weeks) or ongoing
Performance & Reliability
Identify bottlenecks, eliminate hotspots, and make the system predictable under load.
Lower latency, fewer incidents, and measurable improvements you can track over time.
When it fits
- P95/P99 latency is climbing or unpredictable
- You’re hitting scaling limits (CPU, DB, queues, GC, network)
- Incidents repeat and root causes never get fully fixed
- Cost is increasing faster than traffic
Deliverables
- Profiling / load test plan + findings (what matters, what doesn’t)
- Bottleneck fixes (query/index, caching, concurrency, payloads)
- Reliability improvements (timeouts, retries, idempotency, backpressure)
- KPIs + dashboards to keep gains from regressing
Not a fit for
- Teams not willing to measure (no metrics, no baseline, no acceptance criteria)
- Pure “lift-and-shift” efforts without addressing root causes
