Backend Architecture Audit
Comprehensive Backend Architecture Review, Scalability Assessment & Optimization Roadmap
We provide backend architecture audits for companies seeking clarity around scalability, system structure, and long-term reliability considerations
H-Studio helps startups and enterprises identify architectural risks, scalability bottlenecks, and performance issues in Java, Spring Boot, microservices, and distributed backend systems — delivering clear findings and a structured optimization roadmap based on real production experience.
The problem: backend systems scale faster than architecture
Many backend platforms reach a point where:
At this stage, adding more infrastructure rarely addresses the root causes — architectural clarity helps uncover them.
Our approach: engineering-led backend audits
We perform hands-on backend architecture audits, not surface-level reviews.
Our goal is to:
What we audit
Comprehensive analysis across multiple dimensions of your backend architecture.
Backend architecture & system design
- Overall system architecture
- Monolith vs. microservices boundaries
- Service communication patterns
- API design and contracts
- Dependency structure
Scalability & performance
- Load handling and throughput limits
- Latency hotspots
- Horizontal vs. vertical scaling strategy
- Caching and data access patterns
- JVM performance characteristics
Data & persistence layer
- Database architecture and usage
- Transaction boundaries
- Read/write separation
- Data consistency and integrity
- Performance under real-world load
Infrastructure & operations
- Deployment architecture
- Containerization & orchestration readiness
- CI/CD impact on backend delivery
- Observability, logging & monitoring
- Failure handling and resilience
Security & robustness
- Authentication & authorization flows
- API security patterns
- Error handling and fault isolation
- Risk areas in distributed systems

FAQ
Audit timelines depend on system complexity and scope. Typical audits take 2-4 weeks, including analysis, architecture review, report writing, and walkthrough sessions.
We typically need read-only access to your codebase, architecture documentation, and optionally staging/production environments for performance testing. We can work with NDAs and security requirements.
You receive a structured report with executive summary, architecture diagrams, detailed technical findings, prioritized recommendations, and a step-by-step optimization roadmap.
Yes — we audit backend systems including monoliths, microservices, and hybrid architectures. We assess both individual service design and overall system architecture.
The audit is a standalone service, but we can provide implementation support separately if you decide to act on the recommendations.
Audit findings and recommendations are based on the current system state and available information. Architectural outcomes depend on implementation, operational practices, and future system changes.
Backend architecture audit for companies operating production backend systems. We support organizations with architecture reviews, scalability assessment, and performance analysis based on the specific technical and regulatory context of each project. All services are delivered individually and depend on system requirements and constraints.
