Backend Performance Audit

You have a backend that is slow, overloaded, or blowing up under traffic. Rather than guessing, I audit the actual stack — application code, database queries, queues and infrastructure — and report what to fix first.

Covers PHP, Go, MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch and Linux. The result is a prioritized list of concrete changes with expected impact.

I'm a backend developer with 10+ years of experience across PHP, Go, MySQL and Elasticsearch. Recent work includes Cenoskop (30M+ products daily), Niftycent (US price intelligence), and facha.sk (Go backend). I build, fix and optimize backend systems that handle real data and real traffic.

What I Can Help With

Find and prioritize the real bottlenecks across your full backend stack.

Typical Problems

slow endpoints CPU saturation high memory usage slow database queries queue backlogs inefficient caching resource contention poor request throughput timeouts under load

Relevant Experience

Audited backends across PHP, Go and MySQL handling large-scale product data and traffic; produced prioritized fixes for production systems.

What Is Included

application profiling review
database query analysis
cache layer review
queue and worker review
infrastructure resource review
bottleneck identification
prioritized optimization plan

How It Works

You grant read-only access to metrics/profiling/slow logs for a sampling period. I produce a written report ranking issues by impact and effort. Typically 1-2 days depending on system size.

Starting from €499

Independent audit and a written report with prioritized recommendations. Implementation is optional and quoted separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need production access?

I work from read-only access: metrics dashboards, profiling output, slow logs and schema. I do not change anything until we agree on a plan.

What languages and stacks do you cover?

PHP (plain/Symfony/Laravel), Go, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Docker and Linux. I focus on where time is actually spent in your system.
