Technical diligence exposed our software delivery process as a major architectural risk
We’re a small profitable B2B SaaS company currently going through early acquisition conversations. Product and financial diligence went relatively smoothly, but the technical review surfaced a weakness that was hard to argue against: too much of our delivery process depends on tribal knowledge and manual coordination. Deployments are still partially manual, monitoring is inconsistent across services, and too much operational context lives with one engineer. Nothing is catastrophically broken day to day, but from an architecture and scalability perspective it clearly raised concerns around operational maturity and resilience.
