Technical Offerings & Scope

IT Architecture & System Design

Concrete architectural deliverables for software platforms operating under strict reliability, throughput, and scalability constraints. Designed for engineering leads and CTOs requiring actionable blueprints.

Target-State Blueprint

Software Architecture Planning

Comprehensive structural planning for multi-tier applications. We define module boundaries, dependency graphs, state lifecycles, and architectural decision records (ADRs) before engineering execution begins.

Tangible Deliverables

System blueprint diagrams, architectural decision records (ADRs), and technology stack selection matrix.

Target Outcome:Zero architectural debt
Core Processing Engine

Backend Architecture

Engineering resilient backend topologies engineered for strict throughput and fault isolation. We architect event-driven processors, concurrency routines, and asynchronous processing workers.

Tangible Deliverables

Service decomposition specs, event-bus topology blueprints, and state machine transaction models.

Target Outcome:Sub-50ms p99 execution
Consensus & Partitioning

Distributed System Design

Designing fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable clusters. We solve data partitioning, distributed consistency guarantees, node synchronization, and multi-region failover protocols.

Tangible Deliverables

Consensus protocol mapping, split-brain mitigation plan, and multi-region replication specifications.

Target Outcome:99.999% availability targets
Persistence & Sharding

Database Architecture

Engineered polyglot persistence frameworks. We design horizontal sharding strategies, caching tiers, indexing architectures, and zero-downtime data migration runbooks.

Tangible Deliverables

Entity relationship schematics, query execution plans, sharding cluster designs, and caching topologies.

Target Outcome:10x throughput scaling
Boundary Decomposition

Service & Application Structure

Clean separation of concerns through modular monoliths or microservice meshes. We define gRPC/REST interface contracts, service discoverability, and inter-service authentication channels.

Tangible Deliverables

OpenAPI/gRPC interface definitions, service mesh routing rules, and decoupled boundary maps.

Target Outcome:Strict contract safety
C4 Models & RFCs

Technical Documentation

Authoritative, implementation-ready engineering documentation. We construct hierarchical C4 model diagrams, request-for-comment (RFC) design documents, and operational runbooks.

Tangible Deliverables

Complete C4 architecture diagrams (Context, Container, Component, Code) and RFC implementation packages.

Target Outcome:100% audit compliance
The Wexford Architecture Standard

Engineering Deliverables, Not Generalized Consulting

Git-Native Markdown & Schematics

Architectural Deliverable Standard

Every engagement produces concrete, versioned technical assets in standard diagramming syntax (C4, PlantUML, Mermaid) and Markdown-formatted specifications ready for direct ingestion into your engineering repositories.

CTO & Lead Architect Alignment

Direct, peer-level technical collaboration. We eliminate middle-management translation by pairing our principal systems architects directly with your engineering leads.

Zero Vendor Lock-in

All architectural designs, interface contracts, and deployment blueprints rely strictly on open-standard communication protocols, standard primitives, and portable infrastructure definitions.
