Technology Stack Analysis
A WWG tech stack assessment is a structured review of the technologies your production system is built on: languages, frameworks, databases, infrastructure and third-party services. Senior engineers evaluate how well each component still fits its job, what it costs to keep and where it holds the business back. It is for CTOs and leadership teams who have to decide what to keep, what to replace and in what order, with a written and reasoned action plan.
Definition
What is a tech stack assessment
A tech stack assessment is a structured review of the technologies a company builds on: the languages, frameworks, databases, infrastructure and third-party services in use, how well each still fits its job, and what it costs to keep. The output is a written view of what to keep, what to replace and in what order, with the reasoning attached.

The engagement
The tech stack assessment in concrete terms
- Duration
- Set in scoping, according to the perimeter: systems and environments, components and integrated services, documentation available.
- Start
- After the perimeter is agreed and read access is in place. Work starts with discovery of the business goals.
- Who does the work
- Senior WWG engineers, with a named owner accountable for the engagement through to delivery.
- What you provide
- Read access to code and infrastructure, the list of services and licences, a few hours of interviews, one contact person.
- Output
- A written view of what to keep, what to replace and in what order, with reasoning, plus an action plan and a hand-over session.
- Format
- Standalone, fixed-scope engagement. Implementation support and periodic monitoring available separately.
The price is set before we start, in the scoping conversation, based on the perimeter to be examined. We do not publish a price list. Implementation support is quoted separately on the basis of the action plan.
Comparison
A tech stack assessment and the alternatives
When a system’s stack starts holding the business back, there are usually four routes on the table. This table says what each one is for, so the choice is made on the question you need answered rather than on the label.
| Criterio | WWG tech stack assessment | Full software audit | Internal CTO review | Automated tech stack detector |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | CTOs and leadership teams who have to decide what to keep and what to replace. | CEOs, CFOs, boards and CTOs who have to decide on the whole system, code included. | Companies whose CTO has enough time and distance from the system. | Anyone who wants a quick list of the visible technologies on a website. |
| What it covers | Languages, frameworks, databases, infrastructure, delivery, third-party services, licences and costs. | Architecture, code, security, delivery process, team, incident history. | What the CTO knows; rarely what was inherited. | Only technologies detectable from outside; nothing on databases, infrastructure or process. |
| Duration | Set in scoping, according to the perimeter. | Set in scoping, usually longer. | Depends on the time the CTO can take away from operations. | Instant. |
| What you get | A view of what to keep and what to replace, in what order, with reasoning and an action plan. | A report on what is at risk across the system and one recommendation: fix, rebuild or run. | An internal opinion, authoritative but not independent. | A list of technology names, with no judgement and no priority. |
| When it makes sense | Before a migration or modernisation, or when maintenance costs grow without a clear reason. | When the question concerns the whole system, not only the technologies chosen. | When a quick first survey is needed before involving outsiders. | Out of curiosity about a competitor’s site, not to decide investments. |
If the question also includes code quality and the release process, the right page is the software audit, which includes the stack analysis as one of its areas.

What follows the analysis
Stack analysis sits next to reading the source in a code audit. Its conclusions lead to one of two routes: optimizing the existing systems or migrating to microservices.
