Technology Selection & Architecture Consulting

A wrong technology choice or flawed architectural decision looks small at the start; but as the project grows, that mistake exacts a heavy toll with every new feature, every performance issue, and every developer hire. Microservices or monolithic? PostgreSQL or MongoDB? Next.js or Astro? The answers to these questions change depending on the project’s context, and every answer involves serious trade-offs. The wrong choice is carried as technical debt for years.

Our Solution Approach

At Barlas Dijital, we ground technology and architecture consulting in your project’s real requirements. We recommend the technology that is right for your situation, not the one that is trending. With 20+ years of practical software experience, we know which decisions create problems down the road. The consulting process begins with a combined evaluation of expected user load, data structure, team capabilities, budget constraints, and growth scenarios — and concludes with a justified architectural document that your technical team can implement.

Scope & Features

• Architecture approach evaluation — Monolithic, modular monolith, or microservices; justified analysis of the right choice for the project
• Technology stack selection — Frontend (React.js, Astro, Next.js), backend (Node.js, Python), database and infrastructure decisions
• Data modeling consulting — Relational (PostgreSQL, MSSQL) vs. document-based (Firebase, MongoDB) vs. hybrid approach
• API design consulting — REST API, GraphQL, or gRPC selection; versioning strategy and design principles
• Scaling strategy — Vertical vs. horizontal scaling, caching layer (Redis), message queue, and CDN architecture
• Security architecture — JWT vs. session, OAuth2/OIDC integration, data encryption, and API security design
• DevOps and CI/CD consulting — Pipeline design, environment management (dev/staging/production), container, and deployment strategy
• Technical ADR and RFC documents — Architectural decisions documented with their rationale and shared with the team

Technical Standards

Consulting output is delivered in ADR (Architecture Decision Record) format, with clearly documented rationale that the team can implement. Technology recommendations can be supported with a concrete prototype or proof-of-concept. The output is not merely a recommendation; it carries the character of an implementation guide. In custom web applications such as Senkora, architectural decisions are clarified with this framework.

Who Is It For?

• Teams that want to clarify architectural decisions before beginning development of a new product or platform
• Companies considering restructuring their existing system due to scaling issues
• Non-technical founders who lack a technical co-founder and seek independent expert opinion on technology decisions

Expected Outcomes

• The project development process becomes more predictable; delays caused by architectural ambiguity are reduced
• The risk of rework caused by wrong technology selection is minimized
• The team takes shared ownership of the architecture; decisions are not re-debated because they are documented with rationale
• Scaling and performance issues are addressed at the design stage before reaching the production environment
