Solution Architecture
The right system for the problem you actually have.
Architecture that fits the team, the budget, and the constraints — not the conference talks. Documented, decided, and defensible.
Outcomes
What you walk away with
- A clear, opinionated target architecture with trade-offs written down
- A migration path that preserves business continuity
- Stakeholders aligned on what you are building and why
Capabilities
How the work breaks down
Discovery & assessment
Understand the domain, the team, the constraints, and the failure modes before recommending anything.
Target architecture
Component, data, and integration design tailored to your scale — modular monolith, distributed services, or hybrid.
Architecture decision records
Lightweight ADRs that capture the why, the alternatives, and the trade-offs so future you does not relitigate.
Risk & cost modelling
Clear visibility into operational cost, vendor lock-in, and the failure surfaces that actually matter.
Stack & methods
Tools I reach for
Engagement
Ways we can work together
- Fixed-scope architecture review
- Greenfield design partnership
- Fractional architect across multiple squads
Questions
Good to know
What is solution architecture?
It is the deliberate, written-down shape of a system — its components, data, and integrations — chosen to fit your team, budget, and constraints rather than the latest trend. The output is a target design with the trade-offs made explicit, plus a migration path that keeps the business running while you get there.
Why choose Stratis for solution architecture?
Because the recommendation comes with its reasoning attached. I write architecture decision records so the 'why' survives staff changes, and I size the design to what you can actually build and operate — no distributed system where a modular monolith would have done the job.
