Systems only one person understands, organised so anyone can take them over
A founder with 15 years in software looks at the code and how it is run, and starts by telling you whether to fix it or rebuild.
Pre-project assessment · fee credited in full if you proceed
If this sounds familiar, start with an assessment
- Nobody really knows how the code is structured
- It slows down and errors more as users grow
- Adding a feature breaks something else
- Changes stopped when the developer left
- Security, backups and monitoring were never set up
- You need a technical review before investment or a client rollout
What the pre-project assessment gives you
You receive the findings as a written report.
Code and architecture review
We read the code, data model, infrastructure and security ourselves and set out how far the current structure can go.
Fix or rebuild
We recommend a partial fix, a structural refactor or a rebuild, with the reasoning behind it.
Scope and timeline
Each option comes with its scope and timeline, so you can decide the next step right away.
How we scale it
Keep what works
Users, data and the features people rely on stay; only what needs to change is rebuilt.
Built to be operated
Tests, infrastructure as code, monitoring and a runbook go in, so work continues when people change.
Cut-over planned to fit
We plan the order and method of the switch from your service's scale and usage.
How it runs
- Step 1
Share access
You grant read access to the repository and share the hosting details.
- Step 2
Pre-project assessment
We review code, architecture and security and deliver the report.
- Step 3
Choose the direction
You pick one option and we fix its scope and timeline.
- Step 4
Build
Scope is fixed and progress is shown to you every week.
- Step 5
Cut-over and handover
After the switch we hand over the runbook and source so you can also run it yourself.
Systems we took over and modernised

After Your MVP Ships: What to Look At Before Deciding What's Next
Signup counts alone won't tell you what to build next. Four signals, reach, repeat, pay, and request, point to three different paths forward.
Improve or Rebuild: How to Decide After Your MVP
The real test isn't technical debt, it's how far the product has drifted from your original hypothesis. Three questions, and two common misjudgments.
A Decision Map for Life After Your MVP: This Choice Comes Back Every Version
Five parts distilled into one decision map: when a team graduates from the MVP stage, and why this system becomes an asset for every version.
Older legacy systems are in scope too
Even when the language or framework is too old to change easily, the pre-project assessment looks at the code and structure directly. From there we decide between targeted fixes, restructuring or a rebuild. The cases above include systems we took over from other vendors and modernised.
Why teams hand it to Integrabbit
The founder makes the call
A founder with 15 years of engineering reads the code and decides, with reasons, whether to fix or rebuild.
Designed from operating experience
Problems we have met running our own services go into the design first.
We take over systems others built
Even when the original vendor has gone, we read the code directly and sort out what is risky and what to fix first.
Left in a state you can take over
You get the source, runbook and infrastructure code, so work continues when people change.
