Audit deliverables

What you receive from a Stralya technical audit

Every audit and code review is delivered as a structured, decision-ready package. Our objective is to give you everything you need to brief your board, align your teams, and move forward with confidence – whether you stay with your current vendor, your Shopify development company, or initiate a full project rescue.

Core deliverables

Architecture review (cloud-native readiness, modularity, scalability, including ecommerce integrations and Shopify web development flows)
Code quality review (structure, patterns, maintainability, technical debt across back-end services, front-end, and Shopify themes or custom apps)
Security review (OWASP risks, secrets, auth, dependency vulnerabilities, and data protection for web and Shopify website design implementations)
Performance review (front-end, back-end, database, caching, bottlenecks, and page speed for high-traffic landing pages and Shopify product pages)
DevOps & CI/CD review (build, deploy, rollback, environment parity, including workflows used by your Shopify website designers and developers)
Observability review (logging, monitoring, alerting, incident readiness across your core platform and ecommerce stack)

Optional add-ons

Hands-on remediation sprint (quick wins delivered within a fixed scope, from bug fixes to Shopify website design packages focused on performance and UX).
Cloud cost and infrastructure optimization review (FinOps-oriented recommendations for your hosting, CDNs, and Shopify-related services).
Security hardening checklist and implementation support (covering APIs, admin access, and Shopify custom app development security considerations).
Front-end performance sprint (Core Web Vitals drivers and build optimization for key marketing pages and Shopify web design templates).
Engineering process alignment (definition of done, review standards, release governance for both in-house teams and external Shopify web developer partners).
All findings are documented in clear, structured English, with enough depth for your senior engineers and enough clarity for non-technical stakeholders. Where relevant, we include diagrams, screenshots, and code snippets to illustrate the most critical points – including examples from your web platform and any Shopify web design and development work in scope.

Key benefits of a Stralya technical audit

Clarity before committing more budget
Instead of investing blindly into an existing codebase or signing new Shopify website design packages, you gain a precise, independent view of its strengths, weaknesses, and realistic potential. This reduces financial risk and supports better strategic decisions.
Faster path to a stable, scalable platform
By focusing on the highest-impact issues first, you accelerate the journey from "fragile" to "production-grade". Your team can concentrate on the right fixes instead of guessing where the real problems are – whether that’s core infrastructure or Shopify website design and development bottlenecks.
Improved alignment with vendors and stakeholders
A neutral, well-structured report reduces ambiguity and emotional debates. Everyone – internal teams, management, and external vendors such as your Shopify ecommerce development company – can align on facts and a shared action plan.
Reduced operational and security risk
Hidden vulnerabilities, fragile deployments, and undocumented shortcuts are surfaced before they turn into outages or incidents, protecting both your reputation and your users across all your web properties and ecommerce channels.
Foundation for long-term technical excellence
Beyond immediate fixes, our audits highlight structural improvements in architecture, testing, and processes. This sets the foundation for sustainable growth and continuous delivery at a high standard, and helps you get more value from future investments in web platforms and Shopify website design services.

How we work

A rigorous, structured audit process – from code to cloud

Every technical audit and code review we deliver follows a transparent, fixed-scope process. Our goal is not only to find issues, but to give you the confidence and structure to move forward – whether you stay with your current vendor, switch partners, or ask Stralya to take over the project.

We start with a focused workshop with your CTO, product owner, and key stakeholders to understand business goals, constraints, and current pain points. In parallel, we secure read-only access to repositories, environments, Shopify admin (where relevant), and documentation to prepare the review.
We analyze your cloud setup (AWS, Azure, GCP), deployment pipelines, scaling strategy, and observability stack. For ecommerce, we also review integrations between your Shopify website development, back-end systems, and third-party apps. We identify bottlenecks, single points of failure, security gaps, and deviations from cloud-native best practices.
Senior engineers review critical modules line by line, supported by static analysis tools. We evaluate structure, patterns, test coverage, technical debt, and alignment with your performance and maintainability goals – including Shopify web development services you rely on for custom themes or apps.
We look for common vulnerabilities, data exposure risks, inefficient queries, and hotspots under load. Where relevant, we complement the audit with targeted performance profiling and reliability checks for both your core web platform and your Shopify website design and checkout experience.
You receive a clear, structured report: key findings, risk levels, and a pragmatic action plan. We distinguish quick wins from structural work, and provide realistic effort estimates to help you plan budget and timelines – including scenarios for future Shopify web design and development work.
If you decide to move forward, Stralya can take ownership of the remediation phase under a fixed-price engagement. Our team stabilizes your platform, implements the recommended changes, and sets up long-term governance and monitoring, working alongside your existing partners or as your dedicated Shopify website developer and web engineering team.

Popular Questions

Find Commonly Asked Questions

Our audits are designed for CTOs, CIOs, Heads of Engineering, and Digital Transformation leaders who manage high-stakes web platforms and ecommerce properties. Typical cases include: projects inherited from another vendor, Shopify websites that are slow or unstable, or upcoming investments in Shopify web development services where you need clear technical due diligence before committing more budget.
Most audits for a single web application or Shopify website take between 1 and 3 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the codebase, the number of environments, and whether performance or security testing is included. During scoping, we define a clear timeline and deliverables so you know exactly when to expect the report.
No. Our audits are designed to be non-intrusive. We work primarily with read-only access to repositories and staging or test environments. For Shopify web design and development reviews, we avoid touching live themes unless explicitly agreed. If we need to run performance or load tests, we coordinate with your team to avoid any impact on production traffic.
Yes. Many clients engage us first for an independent audit, then ask us to take ownership of the remediation. We can propose a fixed-price engagement to stabilize and optimize your platform, or embed senior engineers selectively into your team for specific high-value tasks. This can include partnering with your existing Shopify ecommerce development company or acting as your dedicated Shopify website developer for complex fixes.
Pricing depends on scope and complexity, but every engagement is fixed-price and clearly defined upfront. We do not sell generic “man-days”; instead, we agree on a concrete perimeter, deliverables, and timeline. During the initial discussion, we assess your needs – including any specific Shopify website design services or custom app development – and provide a tailored proposal aligned with your budget and risk level.
We can do both. Some clients ask us to perform a neutral, vendor-agnostic audit while keeping their current provider or Shopify ecommerce development company. Others use the audit as a starting point for a project rescue, where Stralya gradually takes ownership. In all cases, our communication is professional and constructive: the objective is to secure your project, not to blame past decisions.
