What it's for

Apps with growing traffic, or a launch date that is already on the calendar.

What you get

  • Baseline load test with p50 and p95 latency and error rateYou see numbers from a run, not a guess.
  • Slow-query and index reviewOne missing index can dominate the bill and the latency.
  • Connection pooling and caching reviewPreview apps often open a new database connection per request.
  • Background jobs and queues reviewWork that ran fine for one user piles up for a hundred.
  • Environments, CI and rollback reviewYou need a way back if a release misbehaves.
  • Backup restore testA backup that has never been restored is a hope.
  • Error tracking and monitoring gapsYou should hear about a failure before your users do.
  • Capacity report: what breaks first, at roughly what loadMeasured on the test we ran, and labeled as such.

Typical timeline

5–7 business days.

How it works

  1. Baseline. We agree what 'normal traffic' means for your app.
  2. Load. A k6 run against staging, with p50, p95 and errors recorded.
  3. Database. Slow queries, indexes, pooling and cache behavior.
  4. Restore. We restore a backup in a safe place and time it.
  5. Report. What breaks first, what to change, and what we would not change yet.

What we need from you

  • Read-only access to the repository
  • A staging URL
  • A read-only role on the database project
  • A list of roles and user types

FAQ

Questions worth answering first

Will the load test hit production?

No. We run it against staging, or a copy you approve.

Do you promise a latency number?

No. You get the numbers from the test we ran, and the conditions of that test.

What if staging is missing?

Creating a staging environment can be part of the proposal, or we stop and tell you that.

Is this a security audit?

It overlaps, but the security audit is the right engagement when the question is exposure rather than load.

How is it priced?
