Decide explicitly
Name the tradeoff, accepted risk, rejected alternative and exit criterion.
About
The practice steps in when architecture starts slowing the product down: unclear boundaries, technical debt, fragile delivery, risky migration or platforms that are hard to operate.
Positioning
LRJI does not sell diagrams disconnected from the field. The engagement connects architecture decisions to modules, tests, contracts, pipelines, operating costs and the team's real ability to ship.
Engagements
Clarify boundaries, structural choices, ADRs/RFCs, DDD trajectories, Hexagonal Architecture and technical debt.
Audit and modernizationRead the real system, prioritize risks, reduce debt and migrate without a big-bang rewrite.
SaaS architecture and bootstrapLay a TypeScript foundation, delivery flow, tests, GCP runtime and conventions to ship fast without initial debt.
Runtime and deliverySimplify CI/CD, Cloud Run, Kubernetes, observability, runtime costs and operating standards.
When to call LRJI
Field proof
7 microservices to 1 backend, one CI flow, reduced pod footprint and simpler delivery.
Luxury: identity and customer-data flowsCIAM, MDM, Kafka, integration contracts and reliability work in a sensitive distributed ecosystem.
Fleet management SaaSTypeScript architecture, tactical DDD, tRPC, PostgreSQL, GCP and an operable product foundation.
Principles
Name the tradeoff, accepted risk, rejected alternative and exit criterion.
Use microservices, DDD, event-driven architecture or a modular monolith only when the problem justifies it.
Install standards the team understands, applies and can evolve without unnecessary dependency.
