Technical Audits & Code Reviews for High‑Stakes Web Projects

Technical Audits & Code Reviews for High‑Stakes Web Projects in Dubai

Stralya provides independent, senior-led technical audits and code reviews for cloud-native web platforms. We help Dubai-based organisations understand the real state of their codebase, identify structural risks, and define a realistic roadmap to stabilise, optimise, and scale their most critical digital assets.

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 or initiate a project rescue.

Core deliverables

Architecture review (cloud-native readiness, modularity, scalability)

Code quality review (structure, patterns, maintainability, technical debt)

Security review (OWASP risks, secrets, auth, dependency vulnerabilities)

Performance review (front-end, back-end, database, caching, bottlenecks)

DevOps & CI/CD review (build, deploy, rollback, environment parity)

Observability review (logging, monitoring, alerting, incident readiness)

Optional add-ons

Hands-on remediation sprint (quick wins delivered within a fixed scope)

Cloud cost and infrastructure optimisation review (FinOps-oriented recommendations)

Security hardening checklist and implementation support

Front-end performance sprint (Core Web Vitals drivers and build optimisation)

Engineering process alignment (definition of done, review standards, release governance)

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.

Key benefits of a Stralya technical audit in Dubai

Clarity before committing more budget

Instead of investing blindly into an existing codebase, 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.

Improved alignment with vendors and stakeholders

A neutral, well-structured report reduces ambiguity and emotional debates. Everyone – internal teams, management, and external vendors – 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.

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.

How we work

A rigorous, structured audit process – from code to cloud

Every audit and code review we deliver in Dubai 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, and documentation to prepare the review.

We analyse your cloud setup (AWS, Azure, GCP), deployment pipelines, scaling strategy, and observability stack. 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.

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.

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.

If you decide to move forward, Stralya can take ownership of the remediation phase under a fixed-price engagement. Our team stabilises your platform, implements the recommended changes, and sets up long-term governance and monitoring.

Find Commonly Asked Questions

Our audits are designed for CTOs, CIOs, Heads of Engineering, and Digital Transformation leaders in Dubai and the wider GCC who manage high-stakes web platforms. Typical cases include: projects inherited from another vendor, platforms that are slow or unstable, or upcoming investments where you need a clear technical due diligence before committing more budget.

Most audits for a single web application 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. If we need to run performance or load tests, we coordinate with your team to avoid any impact on production traffic.

Yes. Many clients in Dubai engage us first for an independent audit, then ask us to take ownership of the remediation. We can propose a fixed-price engagement to stabilise and optimise your platform, or embed senior engineers selectively into your team for specific high-value tasks.

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 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. 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.
