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
- Requirements assessment: Understand your domain, scale requirements, and team capabilities
- Architecture evaluation: Determine if event-driven is appropriate or if alternatives (REST, RPC, batch processing) would serve better
- Design & planning: Create detailed architecture with event flows, data models, and integration patterns
- 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
