Software Architecture Design: Production-ready architecture with ADRs, SLOs, HA/DR, and operational blueprints.

The right software architecture is crucial for long-term success. We design scalable, maintainable, and future-proof architectures for your applications – from monoliths through microservices to event-driven architectures. Beyond diagrams, we deliver production-ready blueprints: Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), non-functional requirements with concrete SLOs, HA/DR strategies, threat models, Infrastructure-as-Code templates, and CI/CD pipelines. We consider your specific requirements for performance, scalability, security, compliance, and total cost of ownership.

Who it's for

Ideal for companies planning a new major application, wanting to revise their existing architecture, or facing critical architecture decisions. Particularly valuable for CTOs, Lead Engineers, and Product Managers who need actionable deliverables, not just PowerPoint slides.

Sprint

Four weeks on one goal, with something that runs at the end.

4 weeks · fixed price after scoping

Included

(01)

Review of existing systems, data flows and interfaces

(02)

Target architecture with diagrams and reasoned technology decisions

(03)

Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for the key choices

(04)

Assessment of scalability, security and operating costs

(05)

Implementation roadmap with priorities

Not included

(01)

Implementing the target architecture (separately after scoping)

(02)

Vendor selection including tendering and contract negotiation

(03)

Ongoing architecture support after the project ends

How it runs

(01)

Workshop

In a workshop (½–2 days) we clarify goals, constraints and existing systems with your business and IT leads.

T1
(02)

Analysis & design

During the sprint the target architecture takes shape, with alternatives, assessment and decision papers.

W1-2
(03)

Review & roadmap

Joint review, ADRs and an implementation roadmap that your team or we can then execute.

W3-4
(01)How do you help us choose the right cloud provider?
We evaluate cloud providers against your specific requirements: compliance needs (data residency, certifications), existing team skills, cost projections at your scale, managed service availability, and vendor lock-in risks. The decision is documented in an ADR with clear rationale. Multi-cloud and hybrid strategies are considered where appropriate.
(02)What's included in the HA/DR strategy?
We define RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) based on business requirements. The strategy includes: multi-AZ or multi-region deployment patterns, database replication and failover, backup strategies with tested restore procedures, and documented runbooks for disaster scenarios.
(03)How do you ensure the architecture meets compliance requirements?
We map architecture components to compliance controls (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA as needed). This includes data flow documentation, encryption requirements, audit logging specifications, and access control patterns. Compliance requirements become explicit NFRs with acceptance criteria.
(04)What do we get for ongoing operations?
Beyond architecture diagrams, you receive: Infrastructure-as-Code templates (Terraform/Pulumi), CI/CD pipeline configurations, observability setup (dashboards, alerts), operational runbooks, and capacity planning guidelines. Your team can deploy and operate from day one.
(05)How do you validate the architecture before we build?
We validate through: Proof-of-Concept implementations for critical paths, load testing against the capacity model, threat modeling sessions with your security team, and architecture review workshops. Risks and mitigations are documented before implementation begins.
(06)How are costs estimated and optimized?
We build a TCO model including: compute, storage, networking, managed services, and operational overhead. The model projects costs at different scale scenarios. We identify cost optimization opportunities: reserved instances, spot capacity, right-sizing, and architectural patterns that reduce cloud spend.
