Software Architecture Services
Building a Robust, Scalable Foundation for Performant Applications
Gorilla Logic's software architecture practice
Embracing the principles of collaboration, emergent design, intentional design, and simplicity in Agile, SAFe®, and DevOps approaches, our Software Architecture practice supports the evolution of your product over time. Our software architecture consultants interpret your project’s requirements and constraints, both business and technical, through the lens of technology. They work collaboratively with all your product stakeholders to make critical decisions about the technologies, patterns, and coding practices used in building, deploying, and maintaining your product, such as:
- Open-source or licensed development tools?
- Monolithic, layered (or N-tier), microservices, event-driven, or service-oriented architecture?
- Which developers, QA engineers, UI/UX designers, and more, should be on which teams in order to realize the best possible use of skills and resources?
- Based on geographical access to developer skills, Java, Python, or .NET for backend development? Angular, React, or Vue.js for front end?
- Hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, or private cloud—and which platform?
- Which other systems will the product integrate with and what technologies will be used?
- Which tools for automating delivery and deployment?
With a well-defined software architecture, you can be confident that your product meets your short-term needs as well as your longer-term strategic goals:
- Ensure scalability and flexibility as needs and technologies evolve
- Improve product quality and performance
- Reduce complexity and increase code maintainability and reusability through standardization
Whether they’re working with developers to resolve a technical bottleneck, proposing upgrades to make sure you get a more flexible, scalable product, or negotiating with different stakeholders what’s possible within the constraints of the project, Gorilla Logic software architecture consultants positively influence higher-quality outcomes and faster time to value.
