Case Study: Lowdownapp Ltd improves security and scalability with Fedr8’s Argentum

Lowdownapp Ltd Secures It's Future Using Argentum Application From Fedr8

Lowdownapp Ltd, a London-based mobile-first software development company behind the Lowdown for Meetings app, needed to ensure its rapidly built platform was robust, scalable, secure, and ready for future investment and growth. To assess the integrity of a codebase built with help from interim developers, the company turned to Fedr8 and its Argentum application intelligence tool for a formal source code review.

Fedr8 used Argentum to automate the review of Lowdownapp Ltd’s 500,000-line application, delivering detailed insight in just 48 hours instead of an estimated 100 person-days of manual effort. The analysis identified redundant frameworks, optimization opportunities, hidden security issues in custom code, and the exact lines needed for a PHP upgrade, helping Lowdownapp Ltd reduce its application footprint by 37%, avoid 100 man-days of review effort, improve security, and gain confidence that the platform could scale with less technical debt.
