System Design & Scalability

Software Architecture Consulting: Microservices & Database Design

Architecture decisions made early decide how painful growth will be later. We review, design and evolve system architecture, from microservices and event-driven design to database modelling and tuning, so your software scales without constant firefighting.

  • NDA before discovery
  • 100% source code & IP ownership
  • Security-tested before go-live

What this covers

  • Microservices Architecture
  • Database Architecture

Typical timeline

Reviews take 2–3 weeks; migrations are delivered in increments over several months.

Who it is for

Who our Software Architecture Consulting service is for

We are pragmatic about microservices: many products are better served by a well-structured modular monolith. We recommend what fits your team size, traffic and budget, then back it with diagrams, decision records and working reference code.

Discuss your requirement
  • 01

    Scale-ups whose application slows down as users grow

  • 02

    CTOs planning a move from a monolith to services

  • 03

    Teams facing database bottlenecks or rising cloud bills

  • 04

    Investors or acquirers needing a technical due-diligence review

Capabilities

What is included in Software Architecture Consulting

Architecture review

An assessment of your current system against scalability, reliability, security and cost goals, with prioritised fixes.

Microservices architecture

Service boundaries, communication patterns, API gateways and data ownership designed for your domain.

Database architecture

Data modelling, indexing, partitioning, replication and choosing between SQL, NoSQL and search engines.

Performance tuning

Query optimisation, caching strategy, load testing and profiling to remove bottlenecks.

Event-driven design

Queues and event streams that decouple systems and absorb traffic spikes gracefully.

Technical due diligence

Independent assessment of code, architecture and team practices for investors or acquirers.

How we work

A clear, step-by-step delivery process

You always know what happens next, who is responsible and what you will receive at each stage.

Typical timeline

Reviews take 2–3 weeks; migrations are delivered in increments over several months.

  1. 01

    Context gathering

    Business goals, traffic, pain points and constraints are captured.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    Code, infrastructure and data are reviewed with real measurements.

  3. 03

    Target architecture

    Options are compared and a target design is agreed.

  4. 04

    Roadmap

    An incremental migration plan avoids a risky big-bang rewrite.

  5. 05

    Implementation support

    We build the first slices with your team and review the rest.

Deliverables

What you receive

  • Architecture assessment report
  • Target architecture diagrams
  • Architecture decision records
  • Database schema and indexing plan
  • Load test results
  • Incremental migration roadmap

Tools we work with

Domain-driven designKubernetesKafkaRabbitMQPostgreSQLMySQLMongoDBRedisElasticsearchk6 / JMeter

We recommend tools based on your scale, budget and existing systems, not on what is fashionable. Every choice is explained in the proposal.

Engagement models

Choose how we work together

Fixed-scope project

A discovery workshop produces a written scope, architecture and milestone plan with a fixed price before any build commitment.

Most chosen

Dedicated product team

A cross-functional squad (PM, engineers, QA, DevOps) working in two-week sprints on your roadmap, billed monthly.

Support & evolution retainer

SLA-backed maintenance, security patching and a monthly allocation of enhancement hours after go-live.

How pricing works: Every project is priced after a free discovery call: you receive a written scope with milestones and a fixed quote, so there are no surprises mid-way.

FAQs

Software Architecture Consulting: frequently asked questions

Should we move to microservices?

Only if the benefits outweigh the operational cost. Independent scaling and deployment help large teams and uneven workloads; smaller teams often do better with a modular monolith. We assess your situation and recommend honestly.

Our database is slow. Can you fix it without a rewrite?

Usually yes. Most slowdowns come from missing indexes, inefficient queries, locking and lack of caching. We measure first, fix the biggest bottlenecks and only then consider structural changes.

Can you do technical due diligence for an investment?

Yes. We review architecture, code quality, security, scalability and team practices and deliver a clear report of strengths, risks and estimated remediation effort.

Do you only advise, or also implement?

Both. We can hand the design to your team, pair with them on the first services, or implement the migration ourselves.
