Key Features
What this service covers
Use development when this is the bottleneck slowing the work down.
Cloud Strategy
Platform selection, migration planning, and cost optimization — mainly Azure and Cloudflare, with AWS or GCP scoped in when that's where your systems already live.
Technology Roadmapping
Prioritized, phased plans that modernize your stack while minimizing risk and disruption to ongoing operations.
Fractional Technical Support
Hands-on senior engineering support that plugs into your team to accelerate delivery and share context as you go.
AI Readiness & Strategy
Practical review of where AI automation, assistants, and document intelligence fit your operation — and where they don't.
Vendor Evaluation
Unbiased assessment of tools, platforms, and service providers. We help you pick the right solutions without vendor lock-in.
Technology decisions have long-lasting consequences. The wrong architecture, platform, or vendor choice can cost months of engineering time and hundreds of thousands of dollars. R5 Industries provides experienced, vendor-neutral technology consulting that helps you make the right decisions from the start.

Architecture Review & Assessment
We evaluate your current systems and provide a clear picture of where you stand:
- Codebase quality assessment (structure, patterns, test coverage, technical debt)
- Infrastructure review (hosting, scaling, monitoring, disaster recovery)
- Database design and query performance analysis
- Security posture review with prioritized recommendations
- API design review and integration architecture assessment
- Detailed report with prioritized, actionable recommendations
Cloud Strategy & Optimization
Whether you’re planning a migration or optimizing existing cloud spend:
- Cloud readiness assessment — Evaluate workloads for migration suitability
- Platform selection — Objective comparison sized to what your business actually needs, not the biggest platform available
- Migration planning — Phased migration strategies that minimize downtime
- Cost optimization — Right-sizing and waste elimination on your current cloud spend
Legacy System Modernization
Modernize aging systems without disrupting your business:
- Legacy system API wrapping so old and new systems can coexist during a transition
- Database modernization onto PostgreSQL or a modern managed database
- CI/CD pipeline implementation for reliable, repeatable deploys
- Automated testing strategy and implementation
How We Engage
Advisory Retainer
Ongoing access to a senior technical advisor for recurring check-ins, code reviews, and strategic guidance — sized to what a part-time advisor can realistically cover, not a full-time hire’s workload.
Project-Based Assessment
Focused engagement with a defined scope and deliverable. Delivery timelines are set during scoping based on architecture complexity and migration constraints.
Fractional Technical Support
Hands-on engineering help embedded in your workflow to accelerate delivery while transferring knowledge to your team along the way. Scaled through contract specialists when a project’s workload needs more than one person.
