Prototype to production engineering
Prototype to production engineering for teams whose demo validated the idea and whose code cannot carry customers. We assess what to keep, rebuild the parts that break under real load or real misuse, and ship a production system behind the same product. You keep the speed the prototype bought you without inheriting its fragility.
WHEN YOU NEED THIS
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Code and architecture assessment with keep / fix / rebuild verdicts per component
- Written productionization plan
- Data model and persistence rebuilt for real usage
- Authentication, authorization, and session security done properly
- Secrets and config moved out of the codebase and the client bundle
- Error handling, logging, and monitoring
- Deployment pipeline and separate environments
- Performance work on the hot paths
- Test coverage on the flows that make money
- Runbook and operational handoff
WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED
- A full rewrite when the prototype is sound (we say so and do less)
- New feature development beyond productionizing what exists
- Compliance certification (separately contracted)
HOW WE DELIVER IT
Codebase and architecture reviewed; keep / fix / rebuild verdicts and the plan in writing.
FAQ
Honest answers to the questions that show up most.
Only what needs it. The assessment produces keep / fix / rebuild verdicts per component; rewriting sound code is waste, and we will talk you out of it.
