SoftTech / Architecture

Architecture

We design systems architecture where the domain model, service contracts and operational requirements are agreed upon in advance and support business growth.

Domain design Service contracts Scalability

Which search requests this SoftTech section matches

We translate search wording into architecture scope, integration contour, roadmap and engineering delivery.

Engineering Focus

Architectural Modeling and Domain Decomposition
Domain decomposition

We divide areas of responsibility into business domains and assign interaction interfaces at the contract level.

Service contracts and integration architecture
Contract stability

We design the service and integration layer so that changes are implemented without cascading regressions.

What we do

  • We design bounded contexts and service contracts.
  • We build fault-tolerant schemes with horizontal scaling.
  • We prepare the architecture for SLA and load growth.

Business result

Predictable growth The architecture does not block the development of the product and new directions.
Lower price of changes The contract approach simplifies integration and service evolution.
Risk control Critical NFRs are taken into account before the active implementation phase.

Architecture services by commercial intent

We match the engagement format to the search intent and business problem: from legacy system audit to modernization roadmap, service ownership and SLA/SLO control.

Audit

Legacy system architecture audit

We build a dependency map, data flows, technical debt and risk map, then check SLA/SLO, RPO/RTO, resilience and growth bottlenecks.

Target

Target architecture and domain model

We define bounded contexts, service boundaries, ownership, integration rules and platform requirements so the team can evolve the system without chaos.

Contracts

API contracts and service contracts

We document API contracts, event contracts, queues, data exchange and versioning rules so integrations stay verifiable and safe.

Roadmap

Modernization roadmap and delivery control

We split the backlog into quick wins, critical risks, migration waves and release gates so the modernization roadmap moves without stopping the business.

How to choose a SoftTech project format and defend the budget

Before development or audit, we document the business goal, scope, risk map, ownership, acceptance criteria and production readiness. The project becomes a controlled investment contour, not a scattered task list.

How to estimate a SoftTech project before launch

For a commercial decision, we collect inputs upfront and connect scope with TCO, cost of inaction, SLA/SLO, infrastructure and a clear CEO/CTO next step.

Input and outcome matrix: SoftTech architecture audit and design

We connect the business signal, technical inputs, decision and verifiable artifact. This helps clarify scope, budget, risk map, ownership and production readiness quickly.

Signal Inputs to send Decision Artifact
Need to understand risk and budget: SoftTech architecture audit and design scope TCO risk map Business goal, current system, users, integrations, data, constraints, deadline, SLA/SLO, RPO/RTO and security baseline. Where discovery, PoC, architecture audit, delivery control or full engineering is needed. Commercial decision brief: scope, TCO, cost of inaction, risk map and next safe step.
Architecture, integration or ownership uncertainty exists architecture ownership roadmap Domain model, service contracts, APIs, queues, data flows, legacy zones, release process, incident history and service owners. What to change first: module boundaries, API contracts, data ownership, infrastructure, monitoring or release gates. Target architecture, dependency map, ownership matrix, backlog and phased roadmap without a big bang.
Safe production delivery is needed release gates rollback runbook Backlog, environments, CI/CD, migration plan, rollback, monitoring, runbook, support rules and acceptance criteria. Which release gates block launch, where rollback is needed and who owns production risk. Production readiness report, release checklist, rollback criteria, runbook and support ownership.
A provable outcome is needed, not just development proof pack metrics outcome Business KPI, production metrics, incident rate, latency, error budget, lead time, defect rate, support cost and ownership boundaries. Which metric proves value: release speed, incident reduction, recovery time, data quality or cost of ownership. Proof pack: problem, risk, owner, artifact and measurable production outcome.

Geography, SLA and request route for SoftTech architecture audit and design

SO-TECH runs SoftTech architecture audit and design from Moscow and remotely: we lock the business goal, scope, SLA/SLO, RPO/RTO, integration constraints, ownership, budget and the next safe step.

Moscow / Remote

Team and communication: SoftTech architecture audit and design

The legal and communication center is in Moscow; discovery, review, delivery and support can run remotely with clear communication slots and owners.

SLA / Ownership

How we document SLA/SLO, risks and ownership

Before estimation we connect scope with a risk map, acceptance criteria, service ownership, incident response, security baseline, release gates and support rules.

Architecture audit artifacts

The team receives not an abstract opinion, but a decision package: current system map, target model, modernization roadmap and control criteria.

01 / Map

Domain, service and integration map

We capture bounded contexts, API contracts, queues, data, external systems and places where architecture blocks growth.

02 / Target

Target architecture and service contracts

We describe which module boundaries, SLA/SLO, integration rules and infrastructure requirements should become the operating norm.

03 / Roadmap

Modernization roadmap without stopping business

We split changes into quick wins, critical risks and a longer backlog so architecture improves without a dangerous big bang.

04 / Proof

Proof pack: problem, risk, owner and outcome

For every domain we capture the problem, risk, artifact, owner and measurable production outcome: SLA/SLO, RPO/RTO, latency, error budget or release lead time.

Which artifacts does the team receive after an architecture audit?

The team receives a domain, service and integration map, target architecture, service contracts, SLA/SLO and a modernization roadmap without stopping the business.

How much does a project in the "software architecture audit and target architecture design" track cost and what drives the budget?

The budget depends on scope, integration count, legacy code quality, SLA/SLO, RPO/RTO, security requirements, documentation depth and support format. Before estimation we lock scope, risks and acceptance criteria so the budget is defendable.

What should be prepared to estimate the "software architecture audit and target architecture design" track?

Prepare the business goal, current system description, integration list, workload data, incident history, team roles, deadlines and constraints. If artifacts are missing, we start with discovery, a risk map and a prioritized backlog.

When should you choose the "software architecture audit and target architecture design" track versus an audit or server track?

Choose this SoftTech track when the main risk is in software, integrations, architecture or delivery. If the primary risk is capacity, fault tolerance, operations, infrastructure cost or server ownership, we connect the server catalog and technical audit track.

Do you need an audit, an architectural session or a dedicated SoftTech team?
We connect at the stage of discovery, design and production launch.
