Code & Architecture Reviews
|> Spot issues before they become incidents.
/ / Who this is for
- |> Teams about to make a significant architectural decision and want a second opinion
- |> Engineering leads who have inherited an Elixir codebase and want a map of the risks
- |> Companies going through due diligence (M&A, investment, or enterprise sales)
- |> Teams who had an incident and want to understand the systemic causes
/ / What's included
- |>Written findings report ranked by severity (critical, high, medium, low)
- |>OTP design review: supervision strategies, process naming, restart intensity
- |>Ecto and database review: query patterns, index usage, migration safety
- |>Operational review: deployment, rollback, monitoring, on-call practices
- |>Follow-up call to walk through findings and answer questions
- |>Optional: 30-day async Q&A window post-review
/ / How we work
-
1
Scoping call
We agree what to review (full codebase, a specific subsystem, or architecture only) and set clear expectations on output and timeline.
-
2
Review
We read the code, run your test suite, review your infrastructure and deployment setup, and write up findings ranked by severity.
-
3
Debrief
We deliver the report, walk through the key findings on a call, and answer questions so your team can act on what matters most.
/ / Common questions
- How long does a review take?
- A focused review of one subsystem or a specific risk area takes 3-5 days. A full codebase and architecture review typically takes 1-2 weeks depending on size.
- Do you review the infrastructure as well as the code?
- Yes, if that is in scope. Our reviews typically cover code, architecture, and operational practices together, because they're rarely independent problems.
- Can you do a review as part of a due diligence process?
- Yes. We've produced technical due diligence reports for investors and acquirers, in a format suitable for non-technical stakeholders.
- We don't want to give you full repo access. Can you still do a review?
- Yes. We can work with read-only access or review a subset of the codebase you share with us. We'll scope the review accordingly and note what we weren't able to see.
