Backend Architecture Consulting
Backend systems designed for scalability, reliability, and long-term evolution — designed, not guessed
We provide senior-level backend architecture consulting for companies that need systems designed to scale, support security requirements, and remain maintainable as complexity grows. Our work focuses on system design, scalability strategy, and long-term architectural decisions — not just implementation details. We help startups, scale-ups, and enterprise teams design backend architectures designed to handle real production load, rapid feature growth, integrations, and regulatory requirements.
What Backend Architecture Consulting Covers
Backend architecture is not about frameworks — it's about how your system behaves under pressure.
Our consulting is aimed at helping your backend evolve with reduced risk of rewrites, outages, and exponential complexity.
Typical Problems We Solve
Teams usually reach out when:
We step in to analyse, simplify, and redesign the architecture where appropriate.
Our Architecture Approach
We don't push a single pattern. We choose what fits your product stage and constraints.
Architecture Patterns We Design
- Modular monoliths with clear boundaries
- Microservices (only when justified)
- Event-driven architectures
- CQRS & asynchronous processing
- High-load API-first systems
- Hybrid architectures (sync + async)
Design Principles
- Scalability without premature complexity
- Explicit data ownership
- Clear service contracts
- Observability-first design
- Infrastructure-aware decisions
- Security and compliance by default
Deliverables You Get
Depending on engagement type, you receive:
This is usable architecture, not theory.
Results we're
proud to show
Engagement Formats
Architecture Audit & Review
Independent review of your current backend architecture with concrete recommendations.
Architecture Design Sprint
Short, focused engagement to design or redesign backend architecture for a new product or major refactor.
CTO-Level Advisory
Ongoing architecture guidance during scaling, migrations, or platform expansion.
Who This Is For
FAQ
Backend Architecture Consulting focuses on system design, scalability strategy, and architectural decisions. Backend Development is the implementation phase. We often do consulting first to validate architecture, then implement or guide your team through implementation.
A typical architecture review takes 1-2 weeks, depending on system complexity. This includes analysis, documentation review, interviews with your team, and a written report with recommendations.
We work with both. We help design new backend architectures and also review, stabilize, and refactor existing systems that are experiencing scaling or maintainability issues.
Yes — we design migration strategies that minimize risk. This includes identifying service boundaries, planning data migration, designing API contracts, and creating a phased rollout plan.
You receive architecture diagrams, service boundary definitions, API design documents, technology recommendations, scaling strategies, and written guidelines. All deliverables are actionable and ready for your team to implement.
Backend architecture consulting for companies operating production systems. We support organizations with scalable backend design, microservices architecture, and system architecture based on the specific technical and regulatory context of each project. All services are delivered individually and depend on system requirements and constraints.
Architectural outcomes depend on implementation quality, operational practices, workloads, and organisational constraints. No specific scalability, availability, or performance guarantees are provided.
