Architecture services

  • Architecture reviews

    An independent assessment of your system's design, code quality, scalability, security and delivery practices.

  • Fractional architect

    Ongoing part-time senior guidance: design reviews, technical roadmap and support for your lead engineers.

  • SaaS architecture

    Tenancy models, data isolation, billing integration and scaling strategy for SaaS platforms.

  • Cloud architecture

    Azure and AWS architecture sized for your workload, budget and operational capability.

  • Modernization roadmaps

    Staged plans to move from legacy platforms to modern .NET and cloud without stopping delivery.

  • AI architecture

    Where LLMs, retrieval and agents fit into your system — and where they should not.

What an architecture review covers

  • System structure, boundaries and dependencies
  • Data model, database performance and integrity
  • Security: authentication, authorization, secrets and data exposure
  • Scalability and reliability risks
  • Infrastructure, deployment pipeline and environments
  • Code quality, test coverage and maintainability
  • Prioritized recommendations with effort estimates

Principles we apply

Simple first. The least complex design that meets real requirements.

Reversible where possible. Defer decisions that do not need making yet.

Fit the team. Architecture your team can actually operate and evolve.

Written down. Decisions recorded with context, so they can be revisited.

Frequently asked questions

What is a fractional architect?

A senior architect who works with you part-time — for example a few days a month — to guide design decisions, review work and support your team, without the cost of a full-time hire.

What do we get from an architecture review?

A written assessment of your current architecture, code, infrastructure and delivery process, with prioritized risks and practical recommendations your team can act on.

Should we use microservices?

Often not at first. Many products are better served by a well-structured modular monolith that can be split later. We recommend the simplest architecture that meets your real scaling and team needs.
