Scale Laravel Application
Your Laravel application is buckling under traffic. Success is killing you. Time to scale properly.
Sound Familiar?
Server crashes during traffic spikes
Database connections maxing out
Queue jobs backing up

How I Can Help
Profile and identify bottlenecks
Implement proper caching strategy
Scale database with read replicas
Optimize queue processing
Set up proper load balancing
Implement CDN for static assets
Scaling problems are good problems - they mean people want to use your product. But they need fixing before they become growth limiters.
I start with profiling. Where are the bottlenecks? Usually it's a combination: database queries, lack of caching, synchronous operations that should be async.
Then systematic improvements: aggressive caching, read replicas for the database, queue workers scaled appropriately, load balancing if needed.
The goal is handling 10x your current traffic on similar infrastructure. Scaling should be efficient, not expensive.

What Clients Say
"One of the things most organisations struggle with is finding that 'bridge' type of resource — someone who can speak product, understand the business, and shape the technical flow for today while keeping an eye firmly on tomorrow. Stu, on multiple occasions where I've hired him over the last 15 years, has been that guy. His consultative skills — listening, challenging back, and shaping technical solutions around what he hears — are second to none. His time management and expectation-setting are spot on too. He'll tell you where the risks are in the new and the unknown, so you're never left biting your nails in the dark. He lives and breathes tech, early-adopts just for the hell of it, but never oversells anything until it's genuinely safe and ready to use."
"Brought Stu in to review our AI tooling stack. He did a proper deep dive, gave us a clear plan, and containerised everything so devs could run it locally. Exactly the kind of practical, no-bullshit assessment we needed."
"Stu's been embedded with our team for over a year. Daily standups, same Linear board, same Slack. When we needed a maintenance tracking module built - tenant requests, status workflows, admin dashboards - he scoped it and shipped it in six weeks. Our clients think he's internal."
