Services / What we do

Five ways we
patch you in.

Patchlane fixes the apps you built with AI. Whether you need a second pair of eyes, a full stabilization pass, or an engineer on retainer — every engagement starts with the free 48-hour audit, ships as PRs against your repo, and never forces a rewrite.

01

Code Review

A senior engineer reads your AI-generated codebase end to end — static analysis, manual review, and architecture mapping. You get a written audit, a 45-minute Loom walkthrough, and a fix-plan ranked by leverage so you know exactly what to fix first.

02

App Stabilization

We ship pull requests against your repo to fix what's actually broken — production deploys, slow APIs, auth and session bugs, and database/migration debt. No rewrites unless you ask for them. Your code stays yours throughout.

03

Refactoring

Restructure the codebase so a human can read it again — without changing a single thing your users see. Folder structure, state consolidation, component hierarchy, and quietly eliminating the anys that AI left behind.

Production Support

Reliability without hiring a full-time DevOps engineer. We set up deploy pipelines (Vercel, Railway, Render, Fly), env and secrets management, monitoring, logging, error tracking, and trim your cloud bill while we're in there.

05

Engineering Retainer

A senior engineer embedded in your team, month to month. Slack-first and async-friendly: weekly priority review, bug fixes, small features, PR review and pairing. Pause or cancel any month — no lock-in, no account managers.

06 Not sure which?

Start with the audit. We'll tell you.

If you're not sure

Book the free audit

Send the repo. In 48 hours a senior engineer tells you what's wrong, what's urgent, and which of the five services (if any) you actually need. No pressure, no rewrite pitch.

If prod is on fire

Flag it P0

Mark your request critical and we prioritize it. Stabilization can start same-week — we triage the bleeding first, then work down the ranked plan from the audit.
