JVM technical audit
Before committing to a rebuild or a migration, you need to know exactly where you stand. A LAJVM audit gives you that: a factual assessment of your Java or Kotlin codebase, your architecture and your technical debt, along with an action plan your teams can actually follow. It’s carried out by senior developers and architects, not by consultants who stopped writing code ten years ago.
When an audit helps
- A legacy application whose maintenance keeps getting more expensive and scarier to touch.
- Technical debt that slows delivery and wears teams down.
- Recurring production incidents or slowdowns whose cause stays elusive.
- Technical due diligence ahead of an acquisition or fundraising.
- A hard call to make: rebuild, migrate, or keep maintaining.
What we look at
Code quality: Readability, consistency of conventions, relevance and coverage of tests, complexity, adherence to Java and Kotlin idioms.
Architecture: Module or service boundaries, coupling, dependency management, consistency of application boundaries, and whether the Spring Boot or Ktor choices still fit your actual needs.
Performance and robustness: JVM memory behaviour, garbage collection, contention points, costly queries, resilience and observability. We also look at what happens when things go wrong.
Security and dependencies: Known vulnerabilities, secret management, outdated versions, exposure surface.
Industrialisation: Build chain, CI/CD, Docker containerisation, Kubernetes deployment, cloud strategy on AWS or Azure.
How it works
We start with a framing session to set the scope and understand what matters on the business side. Then comes the analysis itself: reading the code, talking to the teams, static and dynamic analysis, getting to grips with the architecture. We close with a readout, presented to developers and decision-makers alike, where every finding is ranked by its impact and the effort it takes. If you want, we can move straight on to implementation.
What you keep
- A structured report, readable by technical teams and management alike.
- A map of risks and technical debt.
- A prioritised action plan, from quick wins to deeper work.
- An estimate of the effort involved and the benefits to expect.
