The Challenge
A Series A startup had built fast and broken things. Their monolithic Rails app was hitting scaling walls, deployment took 45 minutes, and adding features meant touching code in 6 different places. They needed a plan — not just more engineers.
Our Approach
We ran a 3-week engagement: audited the existing codebase, mapped service boundaries, identified the 3 highest-leverage refactors, and delivered a 6-month migration roadmap from monolith to services — with clear milestones, risk assessments, and hiring recommendations.
