Service 03 / 06
Systems that survive a failure.
The design of how the parts fit together: where data lives, who owns it, and what happens when one part fails.
When this fits
Four situations in which this service is the right answer.
- 01.1
Several applications share data, but nobody knows which one is the source of truth.
- 01.2
A move to the cloud, to a new provider or to a new platform has to happen while everything keeps running.
- 01.3
Integrations were built one after another, and now every change breaks a different one.
- 01.4
The system is meant to grow, and the question is which of today's decisions will get in the way later.
How I work
Order and stance. The four steps themselves are under Process.
Engineering starts with the data model, not the framework. Which data exists, who owns it, how does it flow? From that follows how many parts the system needs and where the boundaries between them lie. The most expensive mistakes in grown systems are almost always boundaries nobody drew on purpose.
Every decision is recorded with its reasoning: what was chosen, what was rejected, and under which circumstances it should be revisited. Without that, a year later nobody can say why the system looks the way it does.
I plan migrations so that there is a way back at every point. Without one, the switch becomes a bet on getting it right first time.
What you get
What belongs to you at the end and lives in your accounts.
- 03.1
A system design with data model, interfaces and responsibilities
- 03.2
An integration strategy: which systems talk to each other how, and which deliberately do not
- 03.3
A migration plan in steps, each with a checkpoint and a way back
- 03.4
A decision log your team can carry on
When I advise against it
The cases where I advise against it, told to you before the engagement.
I don't design a microservice landscape where a cleanly cut monolith does the job. Complexity nobody needs is the most expensive line item in later operations, though it usually looks most impressive in the offer.
Questions
What is usually asked about this service.
01What's the difference between solution engineering and consulting?
Consulting assesses and recommends. Engineering designs: the result is a concrete system design that can be built, not an assessment of what ought to be built.
02Can you migrate an existing system without interrupting operations?
That is the rule. The price is intermediate steps in which old and new run side by side. How many it takes follows from the system; all of them are planned before the first one starts.
03Do you work with our existing development team?
Yes, that is the precondition. Your team builds and runs the system later, so the design has to be right for that team, whether you are in Mainz or anywhere else in Germany.
Let's talk.
You get an honest first assessment — including the times I tell you not to do it.
