SynapseaThe project is outgrowing its foundations
Every feature costs more than the last, releases get tense, and nobody can say where it will break.
Architecture & consulting
How do you choose an architecture your team can still run five years from now?
By starting from your real constraints — team, budget, existing systems, deadlines — rather than trends. We audit, we make the structural decisions with you, and we stay on to hold them: code reviews, scoping, technical leadership when you have none in-house.
What we take care of
Audit of existing architecture and code review
Application architecture design and technical architecture documents
Reasoned technology choices (frameworks, databases, hosting)
Technical expertise and owner-side engineering support
Fractional CTO and coaching of development teams
Senior reinforcement / Tech Lead on a time-and-materials basis, part-time possible
Situations
Sound familiar?
You have to decide, and a mistake will be expensive
Monolith or services, which framework, which database, which cloud: a decision to make now and live with for years.
There is no senior engineer on the team
Motivated developers, but no one to arbitrate, review and pass on engineering standards.
Method
How we work
01
Understand
Interviews, code reading, application map, business and regulatory constraints.
02
Diagnose
Weak points, debt, security, performance; what must change and what must stay.
03
Propose
Two or three scenarios priced in effort and risk, with a reasoned recommendation.
04
Decide with you
Architecture document, diagrams, work breakdown and success criteria.
05
Support
Code reviews, decision checkpoints, upskilling the team until it is self-sufficient.
Track record
What we have already done in this area
A platform governed for four years
Technical governance of a Symfony / Angular platform: structural decisions, code reviews, security, modularity, internationalization, without interrupting deliveries.
4 yrs
of technical leadership
3
major migrations led
Architecture overhauls scoped before being coded
Application mapping, redesign recommendations, privacy by design and architecture standards handed over to the development teams.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask before we start
How long does an architecture audit take?
Two to ten days depending on the size of the system. The report comes with a prioritized action plan estimated in effort.
Do you offer part-time technical leadership?
Yes. One or two days a week is often enough to scope, review and arbitrate, remotely, with regular checkpoints.
Do you work on technologies you did not choose?
That is the most common case. We audit what exists as it is and recommend changing only what justifies it.
What remains after the engagement?
An architecture document, diagrams, written standards and a team that knows how to apply them.
