Backend & payments health check
Know what to fix
before it breaks.
A fixed-scope review of your Python backend, payment flows and production setup. You get a written report of what’s at risk, what to fix first and what can safely wait.
What we review
- Code and architecture
- Structure, dependencies, test coverage and the parts of the system only one person understands.
- Database and migrations
- Schema, indexes, slow queries and how safely changes reach production.
- Payments and integrations
- Webhook handling, retries and idempotency, reconciliation, and what happens when a provider is slow or down.
- Production and AWS
- Logging, alerting, backups, releases and who can access what.
What you get
- A written report, with each finding ranked by risk and effort.
- A short list of fixes worth doing first.
- A walkthrough call with your team to go through the findings.
- An honest view of what is fine and doesn’t need changing.
When it helps
- Before fundraising or a technical due diligence.
- After inheriting a codebase from an agency or a developer who has moved on.
- Before a launch, a jump in traffic or a new payment provider.
- When the same production issues keep coming back.
How it works.
Read-only access
You give us read-only access to the code and, where possible, logs and the cloud console. We don’t change anything.
The review
We read the code, trace the payment and integration flows, and check how the system runs in production.
Report and walkthrough
You get the written report and a call to go through it. What you do next is up to you.
Common questions
How much does it cost?
The health check has a fixed scope and a fixed price, agreed before we start. Tell us about your system and we’ll send a quote after a short call.
What access do you need?
Read-only access to the code repository and, where possible, to logs and the cloud console. We don’t need to change anything to do the review.
Do you fix the issues as well?
If you want us to. Some teams fix the findings themselves using the report. Others ask us to take on some or all of them as a follow-up project.
Which stacks do you review?
Python backends built with FastAPI or Django, PostgreSQL, AWS and payment providers such as Stripe. If your stack is different, ask. We’ll tell you honestly whether we’re a good fit.
