Technical consulting for performance and architecture
When your production system is slow, fails, or costs too much, we measure before we give an opinion
We work with technical leads and engineering teams that have a system in production and a concrete question: why latency spikes, why the cloud bill grows faster than the business, whether the architecture will hold the next stage, or how to leave a legacy system without stopping operations. Every recommendation comes with its evidence, its limits, and a next step your team can execute without us.

Who it is for
- You have a system in production and a performance, cost, or architecture question nobody on the team has been able to close with measurements.
- You need a second opinion before an expensive decision: a migration, an architecture change, a new technology.
- Your team wants to solve it with its own hands and is looking for judgment and method, not a vendor that keeps the system.
It is not for you if…
- your product is not in production yet (if you have an idea or a need to build, see the agile MVP);
- you are looking for extra hands without a defined scope;
- you want a report that validates decisions already made.
What we do
- Performance and architecture diagnostic: latency percentiles per endpoint, cache behavior, queries and execution plans, contention and concurrency, sizing and cloud bill. A report prioritized by impact and effort, with a roadmap.
- Architecture review and second opinion: options with advantages, drawbacks, costs, and realistic timelines, in technical and business terms.
- Legacy modernization: a staged migration plan, without interrupting operations, with the order and the risks of each step.
- Technical debt reduction: what to change first so the code stays maintainable without rewriting everything.
- Implementation, if you want it: we guide your team or carry out the improvements ourselves, as a milestone project or time-based with a budget cap.
The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity.
Engagement options
They are the ones in How we work, with their payment terms:
4-hour session USD 600 as a reference, for a specific question or a second opinion, without a report: terms.
Performance and architecture diagnostic One production system and one business question, with a fixed scope and a reference price, delivered in two weeks: terms.
Custom diagnostic When the problem does not fit in one system and one question, or instrumentation is missing and has to be built before measuring; fixed price for a defined deliverable: terms.
Development project Implementation of the improvements by milestones with acceptance criteria or, if the scope is uncertain, time-based with a budget cap: terms.
Technical advisory A monthly fee with included hours: architecture and code review, technical decisions, and support for your team: terms.
How we start
- Free 30-minute discovery call: the system, the question, and what observability you have.
- Written proposal: scope, owner, timeline, and price; nothing starts without a proposal.
- Execution: we measure, analyze, and check the findings with your team before closing them.
- Delivery: a report or implemented improvements, documentation, and knowledge transfer.
Evidence
The prior experience of team members in systems where milliseconds matter is in Experience, with the entry on the cache for a betting API, in production since 2020. How we measure every figure is in How we measure, and the reproducible results are in Benchmarks.
Terms
The payment terms for each model are in How we work: advance payment, written acceptance criteria, change management, and invoicing (in Colombian pesos for clients in Colombia; in US dollars or euros for clients in other countries).
