Scaling Architecture Advisory
Ongoing design review for teams growing faster than they can hire.
- Turnaround
- Monthly, 2-month minimum
- Who it is for
- Engineering leads scaling a team or a platform quickly.
01 — The problem
Fast-growing teams make architectural decisions weekly and get feedback on them quarterly, usually from production. The expensive mistakes are the ones that are hard to reverse.
02 — What is included
Exactly what you get, and nothing vague.
- Fortnightly architecture review calls, 10–15 hours a month
- Asynchronous RFC and pull request design review
- Pre-migration and vendor sizing consultation before commitments are made
- Priority access for critical escalation and incident post-mortems
- Direct channel with your engineering leadership
03 — What this usually finds
The recurring ones, named up front.
- Premature microservice splits that add latency and on-call load
- Vendor commitments signed before the workload was understood
- Platform choices made for one team that will not fit the next five
- Decisions deferred so long the options narrowed
Listed because they recur, not because they are guaranteed. The audit reports what is actually there.

Every engagement runs under a signed mutual NDA with a read-only IAM role. If the audit would not pay for itself, I will say so on the call.
