„The same thing lives in three places.“
A change has to be made three times and one place always gets forgotten.
Architecture for today's product, not for hypothetical needs five years out.
We design the system around how large the product and the team are today and where you are heading. The first version does not carry complexity it does not yet need.
Does this sound familiar?
Signs that the current structure is running out.
„We fix one thing and break another.“
The parts are tangled and nobody knows how far a change reaches.
„A new developer needs weeks.“
The structure cannot be read off the code; a colleague has to narrate it.
„You can only test the whole application.“
Nothing can be checked without running everything, so almost nothing is checked.
How much structure you need now
Software starts as an idea, grows into a product and ends up carrying the company. Each stage deserves a different amount of structure - and running ahead does not pay.
You are testing the idea
Early on it is about speed. You need to know whether the idea works before you put months into it.
The product is growing
Customers arrive, the team grows and code written in a hurry starts getting in the way. Time for firm foundations.
Several teams work on it
Each team needs to change its own part without waiting for the others. The parts come apart.
How it goes
We assess where you are
We go through the code and the architecture and say what is holding you back.
We map the route
A plain plan of what to change and in what order. No grand rewrite, one step at a time.
We make the changes with your team
We explain the reasons and the next steps, so the team can carry on without us.
What you get
What changes once the architecture matches today.
After the review
- A plan of changes in the order that makes sense
- A change in one part that does not break the others
- Shorter onboarding for a new developer
- Tests you can run without the whole application
- Decisions the team can still defend a year later
Working on your architecture?
Whether you are starting from nothing or the system is growing under your hands, we will go through today's state and say what to change first.
