Cut running costs
The work that makes a product faster usually makes the cloud bill smaller too.
Performance & cost
Faster for users, cheaper for you.
Find the slow query, the N+1, the image nobody resized, the instance running at four percent. We measure under load rather than guessing, fix in order of impact, and leave you the tooling to see it yourself. Usually the same work makes the product faster and the bill smaller.
You are probably here because
- The cloud bill grew faster than the traffic did.
- Pages are fine for you and slow for customers.
- Every incident is the database and nobody knows which query.
If none of that sounds like you, this probably is not the service you need, and we would rather say so.
What it does for you
Performance & cost helps you:
Scale without drama
Growth should arrive as a good week, not an incident channel.
Ship sooner
A quarter saved getting to market is a quarter spent in it instead.
Build with confidence
Typed, tested code your own engineers can extend without bracing for impact.
How it runs
Four phases, no dark period.
Runs until it comes back clean
- 01
Measure
- 02
Fix in order
- 03
Cost pass
- 04
Leave the tooling
measure again after every fix
01 Measure
Load tests and real user data before any opinions. Most teams are wrong about their own bottleneck, and so are we until we measure.
02 Fix in order
The biggest cost or delay first, then measure again. Nothing goes in on the theory that it should help.
03 Cost pass
Right-size what is over-provisioned, delete what nothing calls, and move what does not need to run hot.
04 Leave the tooling
You keep the load tests and the dashboards, so the next regression is caught by you.
- Shape
- Measure, fix the biggest thing, measure again.
- Typical length
- 2 to 6 weeks for the first pass
- Starts with
- A load test and a cloud bill, side by side.
Deliverables
What actually lands.
Concrete things, in your accounts and your repository, that keep working after we have gone.
- Load test you can re-run yourself
- The slow things found and fixed, in order
- A cloud bill with the waste taken out
- Capacity plan for the next 12 months
Before you commit
The questions we get asked.
- How much can we expect to save?
- We will not promise a figure before measuring. We will show you the number the measurement gives us, and you decide whether the work is worth it.
- Will this break things?
- Changes go in one at a time with a way back, and re-measured after each.
- Is this a one-off?
- It can be. Most teams do a first pass, then a shorter one each year.
Not quite what you need?
These sit closest to it. If none of them fit either, say so and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people.

A few lines is enough. What it is, who it's for, when you need it live. Or put half an hour in the calendar and talk it through instead.
