Application Health Check

Get a clear picture of your application's health.

Before investing in another feature, migration, or infrastructure change, understand what is working, what is creating risk, and what your application needs next.

2–3 weeks

Kickoff to written report

NDA first

Signed before we see anything

Read-only

No changes to your live systems

Yours to keep

No obligation to continue

Is this you?

Most applications look fine — until they don't.

If your business runs on an application and no one clearly owns the whole picture, risk builds quietly. The Health Check replaces “I think it's okay” with facts.

Growing SaaS
Legacy & custom apps
AI-built apps
  • You aren't sure whether your application is truly secure or scalable.

  • Your developers are focused on features while operations quietly falls behind.

  • Hosting costs are creeping up without a clear explanation.

  • The person who understood the system best is no longer available.

  • Your AI-built app is ready for real users, but not for real risk.

  • No one is clearly responsible for the health of the entire application.

What we evaluate

Ten areas. One clear picture.

We look at the whole application — not just the code — so nothing important falls through the cracks.

01

Architecture & code

Structure, framework age, technical debt, and how hard the code is to change safely.

02

Infrastructure & hosting

Servers, cloud setup, sizing, and whether it can grow without a rebuild.

03

Security & access

Who has access, how secrets are stored, patch levels, and known vulnerabilities.

04

Performance & scale

Slow pages, heavy queries, and the bottlenecks that show up under real load.

05

Deployments & releases

How changes reach production, and how risky each release really is.

06

Backups & recovery

Whether backups exist, are tested, and could actually bring you back online.

07

Monitoring & incidents

What's being checked, who gets a call, and how fast problems get noticed.

08

Documentation

Whether someone new could understand and support the system tomorrow.

09

Infrastructure cost

Where hosting spend is going and where money is quietly leaking.

10

Support needs

What it really takes to keep this application healthy month to month.

What you walk away with

A report you can actually act on.

Written for both technical and business readers. Yours to keep — whether you continue with Datably or not.

The process

From first conversation to clear plan.

01

Intro call

A short conversation about your application, your concerns, and whether a Health Check makes sense.

02

NDA & access

We sign a mutual NDA, agree on scope, and get read-only access to what we need.

03

Assessment

Our senior engineers review all ten areas over two to three weeks.

04

Report & walkthrough

We walk you through every finding and answer questions — no jargon required.

It started with understanding where the application actually stood. The findings became the plan — and the plan ended the outages.

After the Health Check

Want us to keep it healthy?

Application Assurance is our ongoing service: support, infrastructure, and security handled month to month by a named team.

Before you reach out

What to know before a Health Check.

How long does the Health Check take?

Typically two to three weeks from kickoff to written report, depending on scope and access.

Do you need access to our code? Is our IP safe?

We sign a mutual NDA before we look at anything, work with read-only access wherever possible, and never claim any ownership of your code. You can revoke access at any time.

Will the review affect our live application?

No. The assessment is observational. We don't change your production systems while reviewing them.

Do we have to commit to ongoing work?

No. The Health Check stands on its own and the report is yours to keep. Many clients move into Application Assurance afterward, but that decision belongs to you.

We already have developers. Why would we need this?

Your developers know the features. We look at everything around them: infrastructure, security, backups, and monitoring — the work that usually falls behind when the team is busy shipping.

What kind of applications do you assess?

SaaS products, custom internal apps, legacy systems, mobile apps, and AI-built prototypes headed for production.

Your next step

Start with a short intro call.

The Health Check comes after we've talked. Start with a short intro call so we can hear about your application and scope the assessment together.
