App Maintenance FAQs
What is included in application maintenance?
Our maintenance packages typically include security patching, bug fixing, performance monitoring, server management, database optimization, and minor feature updates.
Do you support apps you didn't build?
Yes. We offer a "code audit and takeover" service. We review your existing codebase, fix immediate issues, and then onboard your application into our maintenance workflow.
What are your response times?
Response times depend on the severity of the issue and your SLA (Service Level Agreement). Critical "system down" issues typically have a guaranteed response time of under 1 hour.
How do you handle security updates?
We monitor national vulnerability databases (CVEs) and apply security patches to your server, OS, and application dependencies as soon as they are released to prevent exploits.
Is downtime required for maintenance?
For most updates, no. We use "zero-downtime deployment" strategies. However, major database upgrades may require short, scheduled maintenance windows which we perform during off-peak hours.
