Service 03 / 05

Systemsthat 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
Several applications share data, but nobody knows which one is the source of truth.
02
A move — to the cloud, to a new provider, to a new platform — has to happen while everything keeps running.
03
Integrations were built one after another, and now every change breaks a different one.
04
The system is meant to grow, and the question is which decision today prevents tomorrow.

How we 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 it flows — from that follows how many parts the system needs and where the boundaries lie. Most expensive mistakes in grown systems are boundaries that were never drawn on purpose.

Every decision is recorded with its reasoning: what was chosen, what was rejected, and under which circumstances it should be revisited. A year on, that is the difference between an architecture and a legend.

Migrations are planned so that there is a way back at every point. A switch without a way back is not a plan, it's a bet.

What you get

What is in your possession at the end — not in ours.

01
A system design with data model, interfaces and responsibilities
02
An integration strategy: which systems talk to each other how — and which don't
03
A migration plan in steps, each with a checkpoint and a way back
04
A decision log your team can carry on

When we advise against it

The cases in which we say no. Beforehand, not afterwards.

We don't design a microservice landscape where a clean monolith does the job. Complexity you don't need is the most expensive line item in operations — and often the solution that looks best 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 should be built.

02Can you migrate an existing system without interrupting operations?

That is the rule, not the exception. The price is intermediate steps in which old and new run side by side. How many it takes follows from the system — we plan them 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. The design has to be right for that team, not for us — whether you are in Mainz or anywhere else in Germany.

Let's talk.

You get an honest first assessment — including the cases where we advise against it.
