Detailed Written Reports
Architecture review evaluates your system design holistically, examining component boundaries for proper separation of concerns, dependency management for maintainability, and scalability constraints that might limit future growth. We analyse your application structure against established architectural patterns, assess database schema design for normalisation and query efficiency, evaluate API design for consistency and extensibility, and identify coupling issues that make changes expensive. This thorough assessment provides actionable recommendations prioritised by business impact, helping you make informed decisions about refactoring investments whilst maintaining delivery velocity. Strong architecture enables rapid feature development without accumulating technical debt that slows teams down over time.

Our Review Methodology
Systematic analysis with actionable recommendations
Code Analysis & Architecture Review
Deep dive into your codebase using automated static analysis (PHPStan, Psalm, ESLint) combined with manual expert review. We examine architecture patterns, component design, data flow, and integration points. Includes dependency graph analysis and test coverage assessment.
Security & Performance Audit
Complete technical assessment covering authentication vulnerabilities, SQL injection risks, XSS prevention, CSRF protection, and sensitive data handling. We check for dependency CVEs, secure configuration, and OWASP compliance. Performance profiling using Blackfire, Xdebug, and Chrome DevTools identifies bottlenecks, N+1 queries, cache inefficiencies, and memory leaks with concrete optimisation opportunities.
Actionable Recommendations
Prioritised findings with clear severity ratings (critical, high, medium, low), effort estimates, and ROI analysis. Every issue includes code examples, suggested fixes, and links to relevant documentation. Strategic roadmap for technical debt reduction and continuous improvement.

Quality & Knowledge Benefits
Fresh perspective and expert guidance for your team
Expert Fresh Perspective
Extensive experience
External code review from senior engineers with 18+ years experience across diverse projects. We spot patterns and anti-patterns your team might miss from being too close to the code.
Quality Assurance
High detection rate
Systematic validation of architecture decisions, security practices, performance characteristics, and code maintainability. Catch issues before they reach production or become expensive technical debt.
Knowledge Transfer
Skills accelerated
Detailed review sessions where we explain findings, discuss trade-offs, and share modern best practices. Your team gains insights from our 18 years of PHP and JavaScript expertise across fintech, ecommerce, and enterprise systems.
Continuous Improvement
Sustainable quality
Establish systematic code review practices that elevate team capability permanently. We help you implement review workflows, automation tooling, and quality standards that maintain high code quality long after our engagement.

Identify & Resolve Risks Early
Prevent security breaches, performance issues, and costly technical debt
Risk Identification
Zero breaches
Proactive detection of security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, scalability constraints, and architectural weaknesses before they cause outages or security breaches. Prevention is cheaper than remediation.
Security Hardening
OWASP compliant
Complete security assessment covering authentication, authorisation, data protection, dependency vulnerabilities, and secure coding standards. Compliance readiness for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.
Performance Optimisation
Faster response
Identify performance bottlenecks with concrete improvement recommendations. Database query optimisation, caching strategy improvements, frontend bundle reduction, and memory leak detection. Fast applications delight users.
Technical Debt Management
Debt reduced
Quantify technical debt with concrete metrics and prioritised remediation roadmaps. We identify code smells, complexity hotspots, test coverage gaps, and architectural erosion that slow delivery velocity over time.
