Services / Platform rescue & re-platforming

Two senior engineers. No juniors. No handover.

We modernise live, critical systems without taking them offline. The people you meet are the people who do the work.

This is for you if…

  • Your deploys take a day and everyone's scared of Fridays.
  • The people who built it have left.
  • You've been quoted for a rewrite and it feels wrong.
  • A project was started, and never finished.
  • The platform works, but every change costs more than the last.

What we actually do

  1. 01

    Assess the system as it runs. Read the code, trace the deploys, measure what's actually slow or fragile. You get a written assessment, whether or not we do the work.

  2. 02

    Stabilise before we modernise. Pipelines, tests and observability first, so every change after that is safe to ship on a Friday.

  3. 03

    Re-platform incrementally, in production. Strangler-fig migrations rather than big-bang rewrites. The system stays live the whole way. Sky Casino and Missguided both ran through their own migrations.

  4. 04

    Leave it maintainable. Documentation, upskilling your team, and a codebase your next hire can work in without us.

How engagements are shaped

No day rates on websites. Sorry.
Assessment
1–2 weeks · one principal

You need to know how bad it is before committing.

Rescue engagement
3–6 months · one or both

A live platform that needs stabilising and modernising.

Embedded capacity
3–12 months, rolling

You have the plan and need senior hands.

Delivery project
3–9 months · both

A defined product to design, build and hand over.

Most engagements run three to nine months. We take on a small number at a time, and we are usually booked several weeks ahead.
