Software Architecture Consulting.

What you get

  • Deep analysis of whether event-driven architecture fits your use case
  • Architecture design for event-driven systems (pub/sub, streams, queues, CQRS)
  • Clear guidance on when NOT to use event-driven patterns
  • Implementation roadmaps with trade-offs and alternatives considered

How it works

  1. Requirements assessment: Understand your domain, scale requirements, and team capabilities
  2. Architecture evaluation: Determine if event-driven is appropriate or if alternatives (REST, RPC, batch processing) would serve better
  3. Design & planning: Create detailed architecture with event flows, data models, and integration patterns
  4. Implementation guidance: Code reviews, pairing sessions, and rollout support

When event-driven makes sense

  • High-volume data processing with loose coupling requirements
  • Systems needing to handle variable loads and spikes
  • Complex business workflows with multiple stakeholders
  • Real-time analytics or notification systems
  • Microservices architectures with distributed teams

When to avoid event-driven

  • Simple CRUD applications with predictable loads
  • Systems requiring strong consistency guarantees
  • Real-time user interactions needing immediate responses
  • Small teams without distributed systems experience
  • Legacy system migrations without clear business case

Packages

  • Architecture Sprint (1-2 weeks): Complete architecture design for a specific system or component
  • Technical Retainer (monthly): Ongoing architecture guidance and code review support
  • Architecture Workshop (1 day): Team alignment and pattern selection for your specific context

Next steps

Book an intro call to discuss your system requirements, and we’ll determine if event-driven architecture is right for you or explore better alternatives.
