Architecture & performance
Find the bottleneck. Fix it. Prove it.
We review, design and tune distributed .NET systems for throughput, latency and reliability. Every recommendation comes with a measurement.
Signs you need this
- Latency grows with load and nobody knows which component is responsible.
- Microservices were meant to scale independently, but now they fail together.
- Thread-pool starvation, lock contention or GC pauses only show up in production.
- A major architecture decision is coming and you want an independent view.
What we do
Performance audit
Profiling, tracing and load tests to find where time and memory go, followed by a ranked list of fixes.
Concurrency engineering
The Task Parallel Library, lock-free structures and the Disruptor pattern, applied where they pay off and avoided where they do not.
Event-driven design
Messaging with Kafka, RabbitMQ, MQTT or IBM MQ, with idempotency, ordering and back-pressure designed in from the start.
Resilience and availability
Retries, circuit breakers, graceful degradation and multi-instance deployment on Kubernetes.
R&D engineering
Prototypes and experiments that resolve technical uncertainty, with choices and results written down as the work happens.
What you get
- An audit report with measurements and a ranked roadmap
- Architecture decision records
- Benchmarks wired into CI
- Reference implementations of the critical paths

How long does an audit take?
Usually two to four weeks, depending on the size of the system and access to a production-like environment.
Will you only hand us a report?
No. We can implement the fixes with your team, or stay on to see them through.
Can you help document R&D work for a CIR or CII claim?
We record technical uncertainties, experiments and results as the work happens. That record supports the research tax credit file you prepare with your advisers.
