Codebase Rescue: Taking Over Production Software Someone Else Started | Razoyo

Codebase Rescue · Named Engineers · $2,500 Fixed-Price Start

Someone Else Started This. We Take It the Rest of the Way.

An agency, a freelancer, an AI tool, a developer who left, it got partway. Now it needs someone to assess what's actually salvageable, what has to be replaced, and take over ownership of both the code and the decisions going forward.

The agency that built this is gone, and nobody here understands it.

It mostly works, but I don't trust it to scale.

We need someone to take over ownership, not just patch it.

The Pattern, Regardless of How the Code Got Here

An outside team or tool builds something that mostly works. It hits a wall: can't scale, can't be safely changed, or the people who understood it are gone. Someone has to assess what's actually salvageable, what has to be replaced, and take over ownership of both the code and the decisions going forward.

A Rescue Razoyo Is Still Running Today

Matrix hotel-sales CRM

Matrix

An internal hotel-sales CRM built by an outside firm had abysmal performance and a confusing interface, not sellable as a real product. Razoyo rebuilt it from the ground up as Matrix, a multi-tenant SaaS on Elixir and Phoenix LiveView. It now runs hundreds of properties, and Razoyo is the team that runs it.

What "Taken Over Safely" Means, on the Record

Seven checks, every time: security and access, data integrity, architecture, test coverage, observability and alerting, a real deploy path, documented ownership. A rescue isn't done until all seven hold, not just the ones that were visibly broken. It starts with a Production Spec: $2,500 fixed, audit findings, salvage-versus-rebuild recommendation, and a senior-engineer cost estimate, before anything gets rebuilt.

Questions We Get Before the Call

Named engineers, not a rotating pool, and documented ownership is one of the seven checks every rescue has to pass before it's called done.

No. The audit is designed to assess a system independent of whoever built it, which is often necessary since the original team is exactly who is unavailable.

Comparing firms rather than services? Who takes over software someone else built puts Razoyo next to five others on the audit step, the published price and who each one actually fits.
