Performance and security testing, grounded in reality.

pipa.dev is an engineering-led studio helping teams uncover performance bottlenecks and security failures before users — or attackers — do.

We focus on

• Load & stress testing
• API & auth security
• Cloud & infra failures

No audits we wouldn’t trust ourselves.

What we actually test

Not checklists. Not compliance theater. We test the parts of systems that fail under pressure.

PERFORMANCE

Real Traffic Simulation

Spike loads, cold starts, slow queries, queue backlogs — modeled after real production behavior.

SECURITY

Practical Threats

Auth flows, rate limits, token leaks, misconfigured infra, and abuse cases attackers actually exploit.

INFRA

Cloud Failure Modes

Autoscaling limits, noisy neighbors, deploy regressions, and region-level degradation.

ENGINEERING

Actionable Fixes

Repro steps, metrics, and recommendations your team can implement immediately.

How we work

Simple, transparent, and designed to plug directly into how engineering teams already operate.

01 — Understand the system

Architecture, traffic patterns, infra, and failure history.

02 — Break it intentionally

Load, abuse, misconfigurations, and edge cases.

03 — Measure what matters

Latency percentiles, error rates, blast radius.

04 — Fix and re-test

Validate improvements, not just findings.

Built by engineers Used by ourselves.

Our own platform runs the same tests, attack scenarios, and performance checks before touching client systems.

DOGFOODING

Our Own Platform

Every regression we catch internally improves the tooling and methodology we bring to clients.

PERFORMANCE

Production-Grade Load

We test with real traffic shapes — bursts, idle gaps, retries, and bad deploys included.

SECURITY

Adversarial Thinking

Designed by engineers who’ve seen how breaches actually happen.

NO THEATER

Engineer-Readable Output

No glossy PDFs. Just evidence, steps, and fixes.

Tested on APIs, queues, auth, background workers, and cloud workloads — before touching yours.

Let’s break your system — safely
