Programming Advisory
Microservices refactoring and performance tuning for Australian engineering teams.
We sit with your architects and senior developers, map the bottlenecks that burn budget, and leave you with a sequenced plan you can execute without a permanent vendor embedded on the floor.

Performance tuning
Latency hunts across service calls, databases, and queues — with measurements before recommendations.

Architecture review
A fixed-scope written assessment of your service topology, failure modes, and change risks.
Review the scope →A scoping call, then a written engagement brief
Most clients arrive with a release that stalls under load, a service map nobody trusts, or a refactor that has been postponed for two years. We open with a 45-minute scoping call, ask for read-only access to diagrams and metrics, and return a brief that names the engagement type, estimated duration, and what stays out of scope.
What recent clients noticed
“They refused to recommend a rewrite until we had a week of p99 traces. The first change was a connection-pool fix that cut checkout latency by almost half — less glamorous than a redesign, and exactly what we needed.” — Priya N., engineering manager, Sydney retail platform
“The boundary workshop was useful, though I wish we had scheduled a second day for the payment domain. Still, the extraction plan for inventory services is the one our leads still follow.” — Marcus T., principal engineer, Melbourne logistics
