Application Maintenance & Support

Software without maintenance degrades, security vulnerabilities accumulate, dependencies become outdated, and performance declines. We provide structured application maintenance retainers that keep your software healthy, secure, and improving.

Proactive maintenance

We identify and address issues before they become incidents: dependency updates, security patches, performance monitoring, and compatibility checks against new platform versions.

SLA-based response

Defined response and resolution SLAs for bug reports and incidents, not best-effort support. Critical issues get same-day triage and response.

Monthly enhancement allocation

Beyond maintenance, every retainer includes an enhancement allocation for small feature additions and improvements, so your product continues to progress.

Application maintenance on a retainer is fundamentally different from reactive bug fixing. We proactively monitor dependency vulnerabilities, track browser and device compatibility changes, and maintain a maintenance backlog that prevents small issues from becoming large ones.

Every maintenance engagement starts with a health audit, we review the codebase, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and documentation to establish a baseline and maintenance priority list.

What this includes

  • Application health audit
  • Monthly dependency and security updates
  • Bug fix response within SLA
  • Performance monitoring and optimisation
  • Browser and device compatibility monitoring
  • Backup and recovery testing
  • Quarterly health report

Every engagement produces clear, documented deliverables. Here is exactly what is included in our application maintenance & support service.

02Monthly maintenance release
03Bug fix resolutions within SLA
04Security update notifications
05Quarterly health and roadmap report

AMC retainers include dependency CVE triage, security patch windows, and semver-gated upgrades with rollback plans. Staging mirrors production config; smoke tests run after every deploy. Ticket SLAs differentiate P1 production outages from enhancement backlog grooming — both tracked in your Jira or Linear.

Common questions about application maintenance & support

Yes, after a codebase review and health audit, we take on maintenance of applications we did not build. We establish a technical baseline and maintenance plan before starting.

Typically 10–20 hours per month for small feature additions, UI improvements, or configuration changes that fall below the threshold of a new project. These are scoped and approved within the retainer.
