SpineBackend & APIs

Finds and fixes performance bottlenecks in existing backend services. Diagnoses N+1 query patterns, missing database indexes, synchronous I/O that should be async, cache layer gaps, and connection pool exhaustion. Produces a prioritized list of fixes with the expected impact of each.

When to use

When specific endpoints are slow under normal load and the cause is unclear. When database query counts per request are unexpectedly high. When preparing for a traffic spike and you want to know what will fail first so you can fix it before the spike arrives.
