# Technology Stack Audit

## Review your existing tech stacks, architecture, performance, and maintainability, highlighting modernisation and optimisation opportunities.

We run a structured, evidence-based review of your applications, platforms, and tooling. We validate architecture, [code quality](/content/services/code-and-ux-audit-services/index.html), dependencies, observability, and operational practices against your requirements and recognised guidance, then confirm business impact and delivery risk. You receive a concise, defensible plan that prioritises modernisation and optimisation with clear ownership and acceptance criteria, so improvements are safe, measurable, and practical.

## Our Approach

1.  **Evidence-First Baseline**  
 We reconcile inventories, dependencies, environments, SLAs/SLOs and telemetry to establish the true state of your stack.

2.  **Architecture & Quality Analysis**  
 We assess design, coupling, domain boundaries, code health and operational maturity to locate maintainability and reliability risks.

3.  **Performance & Resilience Verification**  
 We review APM, profiling and failure modes to quantify bottlenecks, saturation points and recovery characteristics.

4.  **Actionable Closure**  
 You get clear owners, actions and acceptance criteria covering refactor, replatform, retire, and optimise options aligned to your goals.

## Our Deliverables

What you’ll receive from our comprehensive audit:

1. ### Executive Summary  
 What we found, why it matters and priority actions.

2. ### Stack Inventory & Health Scorecard  
 Capability at a glance across services, frameworks, and tooling.

3. ### Architecture Findings & Risk Map  
 Key issues, technical debt and dependency risks.

4. ### Modernisation & Optimisation Playbook  
 Recommended changes with effort and impact.

5. ### Dependency & Upgrade Plan  
 Supported versions, upgrade paths, and deprecation risks.

6. ### Performance & Reliability Observations  
 Bottlenecks, failure modes and guardrails.

7. ### 90-Day Roadmap  
 Week-by-week plan with quick wins and structural changes.

## Our Assessment Process

A proven methodology that delivers results:

 Analysis of your scaling limits and contention points, with patterns to increase capacity safely and predictably for your workloads.

## FAQ

### How long does a typical Technology Stack Audit take?  
 Most engagements complete in 2–3 weeks, depending on scope and access to repositories and runtime telemetry.

### What access do you need, and how do you keep our data secure?  
 Read-only access to source control, pipelines, configuration, and observability, plus architecture documents. We work under NDA, use least-privilege, and avoid copying sensitive data.

### Will the audit interrupt development or production?  
 No. The audit is advisory and evidence-based; any optional tests are run in safe windows or non-production environments.

### What technologies do you cover?  
 We are technology-agnostic and assess common languages, frameworks, databases, messaging, and cloud platforms used in modern stacks.

### Can you help implement the recommendations?  
 Yes. We can advise, co-deliver with your teams, or provide managed modernisation support with progress tracked against agreed acceptance criteria.
