Tech Stack Assessment

Tech Stack Assessment: Analysis and optimization of your technology landscape.

A modern tech stack assessment goes far beyond code review. We systematically analyze architecture, code quality, security, dependencies, cloud costs, CI/CD maturity, and observability using established tools and deliver a scorecard with heatmap (Value vs. Effort/Risk). You receive concrete deliverables: SCA/SBOM for supply chain risks, ADRs for architecture decisions, cloud cost review, and a prioritized action plan with quick wins and strategic roadmap.

(01)What exactly is analyzed in the assessment?
We analyze 6 dimensions: (1) Architecture & code quality (metrics, tech debt), (2) Security & compliance (OWASP, secrets, IAM, GDPR), (3) Dependencies & supply chain (SCA, SBOM, licenses), (4) DevOps & CI/CD (pipeline maturity, test coverage), (5) Cloud & costs (FinOps, waste, rightsizing), (6) Observability & operations (monitoring gaps, SLO readiness). Scope is aligned upfront.
(02)What tools and scanners do you use?
We use established tools: SonarQube Server and SonarQube Cloud (formerly SonarCloud) for code quality, Snyk/Trivy for SCA and container scanning, ZAP (formerly OWASP ZAP) for security scans, AWS Cost Explorer/Infracost for cloud costs, and proprietary checklists for architecture and DevOps maturity. All tools can be used GDPR-compliant.
(03)How is sensitive data and code handled?
Security by design: Code access via read-only repository access (GitHub/GitLab), all scans run in your environment or isolated, no data leaves your systems without approval, NDA before project start, scan results are deleted after handover. On-premise analysis available on request.
(04)How long does an assessment take and who needs to be involved?
Standard scope: 1–2 weeks as a Setup; for a first overview a workshop (½–2 days) is enough. Kickoff with CTO/Tech Lead (2 h), then we work largely independently with repository access and cloud read access. Closing workshop with findings and roadmap. Your effort: approx. 1 day spread over the duration.
(05)What do I receive as a result?
Concrete deliverables: (1) Executive summary for stakeholders, (2) Scorecard & heatmap (PDF/interactive), (3) Detailed findings report with screenshots/metrics, (4) SCA/SBOM export (CycloneDX/SPDX), (5) Prioritized roadmap (quick wins + strategic), (6) Optional: ADR templates for architecture decisions. All formats digital, management presentation on request.
(06)What happens after the assessment?
You have full clarity about your tech stack and a prioritized roadmap. We optionally accompany implementation: quick-win sprints for immediate improvements, architecture coaching for your team, security hardening workshops, or ongoing tech debt reduction as Build & Support. Many clients start with 2–3 quick wins and then plan the strategic topics.
