Before changing your technical partner
You need a clear view of the platform's condition, technical risks and missing documentation before a new technical partner takes ownership.
Magento 2 Technical Audit and Safe Project Takeover
Changing your technical partner, recovering a stalled implementation or making a major investment calls for a reliable assessment of the current platform. The audit shows the condition of the codebase, infrastructure, extensions, integrations and release process, so the decision is based on evidence.
Your next investment starts with a clear view of the platform and a prioritised action plan. You discuss the findings directly with me, and can keep the same technical partner for stabilisation and continued development.

When to get an independent view
When should you start with a Magento 2 technical audit?
When delivery has stalled
The project is over schedule or budget, the scope remains unclear and repeated fixes are not leading to a stable go-live.
Before a major investment
You are planning Hyvä, a new integration, an upgrade or a major feature and need to confirm that the existing codebase can support it.
When the store is unstable or slow
Outages, regressions, slow response times or poor Core Web Vitals point to systemic issues that another isolated patch will not solve.
Technical and operational scope
What does a Magento 2 technical audit cover?
The scope follows from the problem and the decision the audit needs to support. It covers the codebase and the other elements that determine whether the platform can be developed safely.
Codebase and architecture
The review covers extensions, overrides, coding standards, testability, the growing risk of further changes and the areas most vulnerable to regressions.
Versions, extensions and security
Magento, PHP and dependency versions, security patches and installed extensions reveal whether a safe upgrade is realistically possible.
Infrastructure and deployments
Environments, caching, queues, cron jobs, logs, monitoring, backups and the release process are assessed as one operational system.
Integrations and data
Data flows with ERP, PIM, WMS, OMS and other systems are checked alongside error handling, retries and data integrity.
Frontend, UX and performance
The theme, checkout, extension compatibility and Core Web Vitals reveal obstacles that make buying harder for customers or development harder for the team.
Delivery process and ownership
The way requirements are defined, changes are tested and accepted, access is managed and incidents are handled shows the maturity of the development process.
Deliverables
You receive a clear action plan, not an unprioritised list of issues
Executive summary
The condition of the platform is set out in plain English, together with the impact on sales and operations and the decisions required from your business.
Prioritised risk register
Each significant finding includes a priority rating, rationale, dependencies and recommended action.
30/60/90-day plan
Stabilisation, required upgrades and further development are separated, so the team knows what to tackle first and why.
Options and next steps
The recommendation shows what can be fixed in stages, what needs a separate project and whether ongoing support, a rebuild or a platform migration is the safer option.
A predictable audit process
How the technical audit and project takeover work
- Audit objectives and scopeWe define the decision the audit needs to support, the priority concerns, and the access and stakeholders required from your business.
- Technical assessmentThe analysis covers the codebase, configuration, logs, infrastructure, integrations and documentation, as well as reproducing critical scenarios.
- Findings and review sessionWe discuss the findings together and prioritise them by business impact and the decisions required from your team.
- Safe project takeoverFor continued work together, access, repositories, environments and ownership are secured and organised before delivery of the stabilisation plan.
After the audit
What can happen after the technical audit?
The technical audit is a standalone deliverable and does not commit you to further work. Your internal team or another technical partner can use the report and supporting materials.
If you choose to continue with APK Studio, the work starts with critical issues before moving into ongoing support and development against the agreed plan.
Delivery assurance
A dependable delivery partner
Adobe-certified developer
The Adobe Commerce Front-End Developer Expert certification validates the skills needed to deliver Magento 2 storefronts correctly and reduces the risk of choosing the wrong development partner.
Integration expertise
The experience covers Magento 2 integrations with ERP systems including WF-Mag, Enova, Comarch XL and Symfonia, the Akeneo PIM and the BaseLinker OMS. This reduces risk in one of the most complex parts of an e-commerce project.
Fixed-price budget certainty
Discovery defines the scope, architecture and acceptance criteria in enough detail to prepare a reliable fixed-price quote. The assumptions behind the budget are clear before development begins.
Working software every two weeks
Working features are shared regularly in staging from the start of the project. Your project lead can review them as they become available, keeping you in control of the delivery direction.
Customer reviews
What clients say about communication and project stabilisation
Seven years of e-commerce experience and more than 25 completed Magento 2 implementations provide the technical evidence. The reviews below show how clients assess communication, accountability and the quality of the working relationship.
What stood out most was Artur’s prompt, professional communication, reliability and inventive approach to technical challenges. He achieved excellent results without unnecessary complexity. I would readily recommend APK Studio to any online retailer; the investment pays for itself remarkably quickly.
I would recommend working with Artur. He approaches every project professionally and pragmatically, proposing clear solutions that match the real requirement. The changes made the site more stable, resolved the issues we had reported and helped us win new customers. Delivery is smooth and free from unnecessary formality, with high-quality work at a fair, competitive price.
Artur has deep Magento 2 expertise and communicates in a direct, clear and goal-focused way. Before working with him, I tried several agencies in India and a number of freelancers but was not satisfied with the quality or communication. Artur delivers professionally and to a high standard. I would definitely recommend him.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Magento 2 technical audits and project takeovers
When should I start with a Magento 2 technical audit?
A technical audit is the right first step before changing your technical partner, when a project has stalled, before a major investment, or when the store is unstable, slow or repeatedly affected by regressions.
Does a technical audit mean I have to change my technical partner?
No. The audit is a standalone deliverable. Your current team, another technical partner or I can use the report, risk register and action plan. You decide who carries out the stabilisation and ongoing support.
What access do you need for a technical audit?
You receive an exact access checklist before the audit begins. Depending on the scope, it covers the code repository, environments, configuration, logs, monitoring, documentation and systems connected to Magento.
What will I receive at the end of the technical audit?
You receive a plain-English business summary, a prioritised risk register, technical recommendations and a 30/60/90-day plan. Each significant issue includes its priority, impact, dependencies and a recommended way forward.
How long does a Magento 2 technical audit take and how much does it cost?
The time and cost depend on the size of the codebase, the number of integrations, the available documentation and the decision the audit needs to support. After a short call, you receive the scope, required access, timescale and price before the assessment begins.
Can you take over a project without complete documentation?
Yes. Discovery reconstructs the essential context from the codebase, configuration, logs, infrastructure and conversations with people who understand your business processes. The plan includes the work needed to complete missing documentation.
What happens after the technical audit if I choose to work with you?
Your takeover starts with organised access, repositories, environments and ownership. The agreed stabilisation plan addresses critical risks first, followed by ongoing Magento 2 support and development.
