Server crashes during traffic spikes

Database connections maxing out

Queue jobs backing up

Users getting timeout errors

AWS/hosting bills spiking unexpectedly

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

"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."
