Taking over an app or website left behind by another developer
The app is live, but nobody answers any more. One update breaks everything and you don't know where the code is. We start with an audit, then take over what can be saved.
In short
- For whom
- Companies whose developer left, or whose team is overloaded
- What we deliver
- Written audit, code takeover, hosting, monitoring and updates
- Timeline
- One-week audit
- Entry price
- One-week audit from €1,500, then hosting and managed ops from €199/month
First, a one-week audit
We read the code, the hosting and the access rights. You get a written report: what holds, what is fragile, what to do first.
Then three possible paths: we take over, we coach your team, or we honestly recommend another way.
Then we take over and stay
We move the application onto monitored hosting and look after it over time. You talk to the person who designs and delivers.
- Deployments and upgrades handled
- 24/7 monitoring, backups, security
- Kubernetes cluster in France and Germany
The code stays yours
The code written for you lives in your repository, with full deploy access. The stack is standard: if you change providers one day, another team can take over. We never lock you in.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take over code written by someone else?
Yes. We run a paid one-week audit (from €1,500), give you a written report, then take over, coach your team, or honestly recommend the best next step.
What if the code is in bad shape?
The audit says so in writing, with what to fix first. If another path makes more sense, the report says that too.
Where will the application be hosted?
On our own Kubernetes cluster, in France and Germany (Hetzner). No US AWS, GDPR from day one.
How much does ongoing care cost after the takeover?
Managed ops start at €199/month (Essential), with €690 and €1,490 tiers depending on load. Setup from €900.
