Futureproof Your Software With Proactive Architecture and Software Reviews
Architecture and Software Reviews are essential for identifying and addressing potential pitfalls early in the development life cycle. These reviews help ensure that software is reliable, secure, and high-quality, saving businesses time and money in the long run.
ARCHITECTURE AND SOFTWARE REVIEW BENEFITS
Why Review Your Architecture And Software?
Deimos is an engineering company for engineers. Most of our staff are engineers with experience in modernisation and cloud migrations. This experience places us in a great position to help you unlock the most value from your cloud platforms.
An Architecture and Software Review helps identify potential pitfalls in the software, architecture and code, allowing for improvements to be made before they impact the end-users. This leads to a more reliable and high-quality software product.
A review can help identify areas of the system that are underperforming, and suggest changes that will improve the system's performance and scalability.
A security review can identify potential vulnerabilities in the software application or system, allowing for the necessary security measures to be put in place to protect against potential threats.
Cloud cost optimisation helps businesses identify and eliminate unnecessary expenses, reducing their overall cloud spending. This can free up resources that can be allocated to more critical areas of the business, such as research and development or customer experience initiatives.
By identifying issues early in the development process, an Architecture and Software Review can help ensure that the software is more maintainable over time, reducing the cost and effort required for future updates and enhancements.
A high-quality software product that meets stakeholder requirements and expectations can lead to increased satisfaction and better business outcomes.
By identifying problems early on, you can fix them before they become bigger and more expensive to fix.
Architecture and Software Reviews help ensure that software meets the required quality standards on a consistent and ongoing basis.
By preventing problems from occurring in the first place,you can save money on development costs.
Developers can focus on writing code instead of
fixing bugs.
Architecture and Software Reviews help reduce the risk of software failures, which can damage your business's reputation and bottom-line.fixing bugs.
Our Software and Architecture Review Process
What Happens During The Assessment?
At a high level, the assessment consists of 5 phases:
We align expectations and determine which areas you want us to focus on. It’s an opportunity to better understand your business and how you use technology, as well as your current pain points and future goals.
We facilitate a set of collaborative sessions between the Deimos team and your key team members.
The aim is to get a better understanding of your architecture in order to set us up for success in the next phase.
This phase often consists of multiple sessions, each with a core area of focus, such as architectural patterns, security, deployment, and documentation.
Our team of experts assesses your current state against industry best practices.
Our aim is to identify areas of significant impact.
We compile our findings into a well-written report that includes recommendations on addressing the issues we raise.
These recommendations will not only provide you with the details needed to implement them, but also the reasoning behind them.
We will review the report together. Our team will explain our findings in detail and facilitate the building of a roadmap to implement recommendations that are aligned with your goals.
what is being assessed?
Our Architecture and Software Reviews go beyond code checks and delve into the underlying principles and patterns that shape your application. We evaluate your adherence to the 12-factor app principles, ensuring that your application is scalable, disposable, and resilient. Additionally, we assess your architectural patterns, such as microservices or monolithic architectures, ensuring that they align with your application's requirements and goals.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects we evaluate:
We verify that your application is built upon the 12-factor app principles, ensuring that it's deployable, scalable, and manageable in modern cloud environments.
We assess the suitability of your chosen architectural pattern, such as microservices or monolithic, and evaluate its alignment with your application's complexity, performance needs, and scalability requirements.
We examine your code organisation and modularity, ensuring clear separation of concerns, maintainability, and ease of testing.
We evaluate your data access patterns and persistence strategies, ensuring efficient database utilisation, data integrity, and compliance with data security best practices.
We assess your deployment and configuration management practices, ensuring consistent, reproducible, and automated deployments across environments.
We evaluate your testing strategies and monitoring practices, ensuring comprehensive test coverage, continuous integration, and effective performance monitoring.
We assess your application's security posture, identifying potential vulnerabilities, and ensuring compliance with security best practices.
We review your documentation practices, ensuring clear, up-to-date documentation that facilitates onboarding, maintenance, and future development.
YOUR ASSESSMENT IS DONE. NOW WHAT?
What to Expect From Deimos
A thorough assessment can help identify potential security gaps and vulnerabilities in the system, enabling proactive measures to be taken to address them.
We’ll set up review workshops to walk you through the report and ensure all stakeholders understand our findings and next steps.
You can implement the changes in-house or hire Deimos, and we’ll compile a detailed project plan, including costs and timelines, to get the job done.
