Software architecture consulting
A second opinion before a big technical decision: monolith or services, build or buy, how to scale. Written recommendations you can act on.
01 — What we do
Software architecture consulting services we provide
- 01
Architecture review & health checks
A structured assessment of an existing system's design, covering scalability, maintainability, and technical risk, with specific findings rather than general impressions.
- 02
Technical due diligence for investors
An independent report on the target company's technology, written for people who need to make a funding or acquisition decision, not for the engineering team.
- 03
Build-vs-buy & monolith-vs-microservices guidance
A clear recommendation grounded in your actual team size, growth plans, and operational maturity, not a default answer.
- 04
Scalability & multi-tenant design review
An evaluation of whether your current design can support more users, more customers, or more regions without a rewrite.
- 05
Technology stack evaluation
An honest assessment of whether your current languages, frameworks, and infrastructure choices still fit where the product is headed.
- 06
Documented recommendations & roadmap
A written report with prioritized findings and a practical sequence for addressing them, so the decision doesn't live only in a meeting.
02 — When
When companies come to us for architecture consulting
We're about to make a big architecture decision and want a second opinion. Monolith vs. microservices, multi-tenant vs. single-tenant, build vs. buy: these choices are hard to reverse once implemented.
An investor needs technical due diligence before funding. Before a round closes or an acquisition goes through, someone has to answer whether the technology is actually worth what it's valued at.
Scaling problems keep recurring and the root cause is unclear. Performance issues, deployment pain, or recurring outages often trace back to an architecture decision made years earlier.
We're deciding whether to rebuild or extend an existing system. Rebuilding is expensive and risky, extending a flawed foundation has its own cost. We help you weigh both honestly.
04 — Process
Our architecture consulting process
- 01
Initial discovery call
We talk through what's prompting the review: a pending decision, an investment, or recurring problems, and what a useful outcome looks like for you.
- 02
Codebase & system review
We look at the actual architecture, infrastructure, and code, not just the diagrams and documentation describing it.
- 03
Stakeholder interviews
We talk to the engineers, founders, or product owners who know where the system's real friction points are.
- 04
Findings & recommendations report
You get a written report: what we found, what it means for your decision, and what we'd do about it, ranked by priority.
- 05
Review call
We walk through the report together and answer questions before anyone acts on it.
- 06
Optional follow-up support
If you decide to act on the recommendations, we can help plan or build the next phase, as a separate, scoped engagement.
05 — Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Software architecture consulting is advisory work: we review your system or plans and give you a written recommendation. Custom software development is us actually building the system. Many clients start with a review and only later, if at all, ask us to build.
