What is there to consider in software architecture?

Changing an architecture is time-consuming and expensive. The flexibility of the architecture is therefore an important factor during the design phase. A microservice architecture, for example, offers the advantage that the individual services can be easily exchanged. With monolithic architectures, on the other hand, this is more difficult. Here, it must be weighed up how likely changes to the architecture are and how flexible it should be.

Pay attention to quality right from the start when developing your business software and don’t cut corners. At soxes, we use standardised components that significantly simplify the development of individual business software while still fulfilling all the important criteria of good software.

After implementation and quality control, the software finally goes into operation and must be maintained accordingly. A clean architecture also plays a central role in maintenance. With chaotic architectures, the maintenance task quickly becomes a difficult undertaking. Components can interfere with each other, hidden sources of error have to be searched for laboriously or, in the worst case, data can be lost. Clean architectures and documentation, as well as the use of monitoring software such as PRTG, help to reduce downtimes and additional maintenance work.

Finding the right architecture is custom work and requires competent knowledge and experience. soxes is able to conceptualise and implement state-of-the-art architectures. This knowledge has been applied in many complex projects by satisfied customers.
