Tech Stack Scanner
Overview
The Tech Stack Scanner skill provides automated technical architecture review for venture capital due diligence. It assesses technology choices, infrastructure scalability, security posture, and technical debt to inform investment decisions.
Capabilities
Architecture Assessment
- Evaluate technology stack choices
- Assess microservices vs. monolith architecture
- Review database and data store choices
- Analyze API design and integration patterns
Infrastructure Review
- Evaluate cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Assess scalability and auto-scaling capabilities
- Review disaster recovery and backup strategies
- Analyze infrastructure costs and efficiency
Security Assessment
- Review authentication and authorization
- Assess data encryption practices
- Check for common vulnerabilities
- Evaluate security monitoring and incident response
Scalability Analysis
- Model load handling capabilities
- Identify potential bottlenecks
- Assess horizontal vs. vertical scaling
- Review performance optimization practices
