Project rescue

Stalled builds, back on track.

A supplier left, the build stalled, or the system you depend on keeps breaking. We read what is there, make it stable first, then finish it or move it to a modern stack, one piece at a time, while your business keeps running.

// what we do

From stuck to steady.

01

Taking over

We get the code, the accounts and the documents, and find out what actually works today.

02

Stabilizing

Monitoring, backups and tests around the parts that break, so the fires stop before the rebuilding starts.

03

Finishing stalled builds

A plan for what is left, in milestones you sign off, built on what is worth keeping.

04

Modernizing legacy systems

Old frameworks, languages and servers replaced piece by piece, never all at once.

05

Moving data

Records moved from the old system to the new one, checked line by line.

06

Documentation

What the system does and how to run it, written down so you are never stuck like this again.

// how we work

Stable first, then better.

We read before we change. The first weeks are spent learning what the system does, not rewriting it.
Tests go around the old behaviour first, so we know the new code does the same job.
The old and new run side by side, and traffic moves across in steps you can undo.
We tell you plainly what is worth keeping and what is not, even when keeping it means less work for us.

// stack

What we usually move you to.

web: Next.js, React, TypeScript
services: TypeScript on Node.js, or the language your team knows
data: PostgreSQL, with the rules in the database where they belong
hosting: DigitalOcean by default; AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Hetzner or Vultr when you need them
tests: Vitest, property tests and mutation testing around every change

// a typical first project

A takeover review.

We read the code, the servers and what is left to build, then hand you a written plan to stabilize it and finish it, with a price for each step. Book a call to start.

// questions

Questions about rescue work.

Do you always rewrite it?

No. A rewrite is the riskiest option and often not needed. We keep what works and replace what holds you back.

We do not have all the code or the logins. Can you still help?

Often, yes. We help you recover access to what you own first. What we cannot recover, we tell you, with the options.

Will our users notice?

We plan for them not to. Changes go out in small steps, with a way back for each one.

What if the system is in a language you do not usually use?

We read most languages. If moving it is the right call, we move it to a modern stack. If it is not, we say so and keep it running.
