Read the system
Two weeks in the codebase, the infrastructure and the deploys.
An incorrect architecture decision at the start can take years to correct. We work with founders, product leads, and engineering teams. Together we make technology decisions that are based on facts, not on current fashion.
We examine your system: the database design, the service limits, and the deployment configuration. We then record the parts that operate correctly, the parts that are weak, and the parts to correct first.
If a team selects a technology because it is fashionable, that team frequently writes the system again in two years. We compare languages, frameworks, and databases with your actual requirements and the skills of your team.
A legacy system is not always a problem. We plan and control large architecture migrations, from a monolith to services. The interruption to your business stays low.
Short, specific and written down. You end with decisions and an order to make them in, not a deck.
Two weeks in the codebase, the infrastructure and the deploys.
Cost, risk and timeline for each, including doing nothing.
Dependency order, so every stage leaves you something usable.
A written assessment of the system as it is, with the risks named.
A sequenced plan in dependency order, costed stage by stage.
Recommendations with the reasoning attached, including what we ruled out.
What the current path costs over three years against the alternatives.
What skills the plan needs, and whether to build or buy the capacity.
A standing session as the plan meets reality.
