Production Hardening, Scaling & Reliability

Turning a product that works into one that keeps working: load testing, security review, observability, safer releases and the on-call basics that keep incidents short.

Products usually reach this stage with a working codebase and a growing list of worries: pages that slow down under load, a deploy nobody wants to run on a Friday, a security questionnaire from a large prospect, an outage that took hours to diagnose. Production hardening turns those worries into measurements and fixes. What it typically covers: Load and capacity. k6 load tests against the busiest endpoints, query plans for the slowest queries, connection pooling for PostgreSQL, caching where measurements justify it, and slow work moved onto queues. Reliability. Timeouts and deliberate retry…
