Codebase Takeover & Legacy System Stabilization
+371 28 355 550EXECUTIVE ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW
A codebase takeover is a structured handover of an existing software system when the previous agency or developer has become unresponsive, left, or is being replaced.
- Non-Destructive Intake Audit: We inspect the repository, identify hidden architecture flaws, map external dependencies, and verify live database backups.
- Infrastructure & Credential Recovery: Reclaim administrative ownership of hosting servers, DNS zones, cloud subscriptions, and source code repositories.
- System Stabilization: Patch critical security holes and eliminate runtime crashes so you resume planned feature development without an expensive total rewrite.
Previous Developer Disappeared
Your developer stopped answering calls or the agency relationship ended, leaving your production site running with nobody maintaining it.
Credentials and Access Unknown
Nobody in your organization holds the root server logins, DNS panel credentials, or Git repository admin rights to make updates.
Zero Documentation and Fragile Code
No tests or technical documentation exist, and previous attempts to update a single feature resulted in system crashes.
Planned Agency Transition
You are preparing to transition from an incumbent development agency to a new partner and need a safe, orderly technical handover.
Structured Takeover Methodology
Access & Asset Recovery
Securing administrative access to hosting, cloud providers, code repositories, domains, and third-party API accounts.
Read-Only Intake Audit & Runbook
Non-destructive inspection of codebase architecture, security vulnerabilities, dependencies, and environment variables.
Tested Backup & Sandbox Restoration
Creating encrypted production backups and executing complete restore drills in an isolated staging environment.
Stabilization & Planned Roadmap
Applying critical security patches, updating deprecated libraries, and establishing a safe roadmap for new features.
