Cloud migration: lift-and-shift, re-platform, or re-architect
Choosing a cloud migration strategy is a financial and architectural decision. We analyze how to prevent budget growth using cost modeling and FinOps methodology.
DevOps and CI/CD: accelerating enterprise time-to-market safely
Balancing software delivery speed and system reliability using DORA metrics, 12-Factor App principles, SRE error budgets, and platform engineering.
Managing technical debt and code quality in enterprise systems
How SRE practices, DORA metrics, and engineering discipline help prevent technical debt, while low-code platforms standardize core architecture.
Pragmatic architecture for enterprise systems: avoiding distributed monoliths
Transitioning to microservices without considering operational complexity creates technical debt. We examine approaches for building stable enterprise systems.
