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.
How it works
- Baseline. We agree what 'normal traffic' means for your app.
- Load. A k6 run against staging, with p50, p95 and errors recorded.
- Database. Slow queries, indexes, pooling and cache behavior.
- Restore. We restore a backup in a safe place and time it.
- 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?
A custom quote after a free assessment. No work starts until you accept the proposal.
