Application Readiness Assessment

You proved people want it. We help your application handle what comes next. The Application Readiness Assessment is a fixed-scope, two-week, read-only review of your codebase, architecture, and AWS environment. It is for founders and teams who built an application with AI coding tools, found product-market fit, and now see real users finding its limits: slow pages, timeouts, and performance that degrades with usage, bugs that keep coming back, fragile integrations, cloud costs that climb faster than usage, code that has become hard to change safely, and enterprise customers asking for audit logs or specific deployment requirements.

What you built works, and customers value it. The assessment starts from there: we look for what to strengthen, not what to throw away. Findings are ranked by customer and business impact, risk, and effort, and turned into a Now / Next / Later roadmap with effort ranges. The roadmap is yours to act on however you choose: with your own team, with another partner, or with us through an optional, separately quoted stabilization engagement.

This service is for applications running on AWS. Depending on your environment, the review covers services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon CloudWatch, AWS CloudTrail, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS Secrets Manager, AWS Backup, and AWS Billing and Cost Management, including AWS Cost Explorer. Access is through a read-only IAM role you deploy and control, revoked at the end of the assessment.

• Kickoff to confirm goals, known pain points, and what is in scope
• Codebase quality and structure: organization, duplication, test coverage, dependency health, and the areas hardest to change safely
• Architecture and data access: component boundaries, integrations, database schema, query patterns, and data access paths
• Performance and reliability: slow paths and timeouts, error handling, background jobs, recurring defects, and how failures are detected
• AWS infrastructure, cost, and operations: service layout, deployments, environments, monitoring and logging, backups, and what drives the bill
• Security basics and enterprise readiness: authentication and access control, secrets handling, and gaps against common requests such as audit logging
• Short stakeholder interviews with your founder, product, and engineering leads
• Findings report across all five areas, including what is working well
• Prioritized roadmap of Now / Next / Later recommendations, with effort ranges
• Architecture overview of your application and AWS environment as it runs today
• Live readout session with your team to walk through the findings and the roadmap
• Typical duration: about two weeks from the day access is in place, delivered remotely

• No code or configuration changes during the assessment
• Not a penetration test or load test
• Not a compliance audit or certification (e.g. SOC 2, HIPAA)
• Not a promise of a specific scale, uptime, or cost outcome
• Fixing and refactoring problem code, clearing bottlenecks, and preparing for growth and enterprise deployment are an optional follow-on engagement, quoted separately from the roadmap

• Read-only access to the relevant source repositories
• A read-only AWS role, including billing visibility
• A technical point of contact
• Timely availability for interviews and questions
• Any existing docs, diagrams, or customer security questionnaires

Findings and effort ranges are planning estimates based on what is available during the review.
