Architecture
Build it right the first time
Overview
Scalable system design that handles growth without breaking. APIs, databases, and cloud infra for the long term.
Why it matters
“Refactoring architecture after a product has grown is the most expensive work there is. Getting it right from the start costs a fraction of that.”
What's included
- Distributed system design for high availability
- Database strategy: SQL vs NoSQL, sharding, indexing
- API architecture: REST, GraphQL, gRPC
- Cloud infrastructure: AWS, Cloudflare, Vercel, Fly.io
- Caching strategy (Redis, CDN, stale-while-revalidate)
- Queues and async task processing
- Backup and disaster recovery planning
- Architecture diagrams delivered
How we work
Our process
Requirements
We gather scale, latency, availability, and volume requirements. We understand the business before talking about technology.
System Design
We design the full architecture: services, databases, queues, caching, CDN, and cloud infrastructure. Documented and reviewed before any code.
Proof of Concept
For critical components, we build a PoC to validate performance and cost assumptions before full development.
Handoff & Review
We deliver diagrams, an architecture document, and run a review session with the team that will implement.
Who it's for
Use cases
- Startup growing fast that needs to prepare infrastructure
- Product with performance bottlenecks that need diagnosis
- Team that needs a second opinion before a major technical decision
- Company migrating from monolith to microservices

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with any cloud provider?
Yes. We have experience with AWS, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, Vercel, and Fly.io. We recommend what makes the most sense for your case.
What if my current infrastructure is already working?
Even working infrastructure can cost more than it should or stall at the next scale level. A review can reveal savings and improvement areas.
What format are the diagrams in?
We deliver in your preferred format: C4 Model, draw.io, Mermaid, or Figma. Always with narrative documentation included.
