KHD Labs is a boutique engineering studio. When your cross-platform app drops frames, your offline sync corrupts state, or your backend is struggling under load—we diagnose the root causes and rebuild with precision.
Most performance failures stem from predictable architectural trade-offs. Select any issue below to read our technical breakdown.
Garbage collection sweeps and unmemoized allocations exceeding the 8.3ms frame budget.
Last-Write-Wins timestamps overwriting server records during reconnection bursts.
Premature microservices and inter-service transit fees adding unnecessary overhead.
Large JavaScript bundles blocking the main browser thread during hydration.
iOS Jetsam terminating background processes that exceed dirty memory thresholds.
Frequent background socket heartbeats preventing the cellular radio from idling.
Re-architected a courier application that crashed when drivers entered subterranean loading bays. Replaced whole-table JSON replication with an idempotent SQLite WAL delta stream.
A mobile checkout platform suffering 62% bounce rates on mobile cellular connections due to a 4.1MB single-page hydration block. Replaced with Astro islands and selective hydration.
A medical peripheral app that was repeatedly terminated by iOS Jetsam when patients switched between camera and monitoring. Engineered a zero-alloc CoreBluetooth state preservation engine.
A deep dive into why React Native and Flutter apps drop frames during fast scroll, how Hermes garbage collection pauses murder 120Hz ProMotion, and our step-by-step triage using Xcode Instruments.
Why slapping WatermelonDB or raw SQLite on an app doesn't solve offline sync. How edge-case race conditions wipe out customer data, and how we architect idempotent delta streams.
How a 6,000-user mobile product ended up running 14 Kubernetes microservices, paying AWS astronomical NAT gateway bills, and how we collapsed it into a $120/mo monolith that cut latency by 80%.
Most mobile web visitors bounce before your React bundle hydrates. Here is how we diagnose bloated chunks, kill accidental barrel-file imports, and cut TTI from 6.8s to 900ms on 4G.
We operate as an embedded senior engineering partner rather than a conventional agency.
The engineers who scope the architecture write the code. We do not pass work to junior subcontractors or account managers.
All code is developed directly in your repositories with comprehensive documentation. Zero proprietary studio lock-in.
Every build is benchmarked against real, low-end mobile devices and tested for memory, battery, and frame consistency.
Inquiries are reviewed directly by our principal mobile and systems engineers within one business day. We inspect your repository or technical brief before scheduling an exploratory call.
