Modern software architecture

Scalable, maintainable, and high-performance architectures for your digital projects

Software architecture determines a project's ability to evolve, scale, and remain maintainable over time. A poor architectural choice can doom a project to permanent refactoring or premature obsolescence.

Our expertise covers modern architectures: headless decoupling frontend and backend, microservices for complex systems, API-first for multi-channel integration. We apply the principles of Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven Design for solid foundations.

This page presents our approach to software architecture and the patterns we use to design performant, scalable, and maintainable systems.

Modern software architecture

Headless Architectures

Frontend/Backend Decoupling

Headless architecture separates content management from its presentation:

  • Headless CMS: Directus, Strapi, Contentful
  • Modern frontends: Astro, Next.js, Nuxt
  • Flexibility: same content on web, mobile, IoT
  • Performance: static pages, SSG, ISR

Benefits

  • Freedom of choice in frontend technologies
  • Independent scaling of each component
  • Enhanced security (reduced attack surface)
  • Optimized user experiences

API-First Architecture

API Design

  • REST: standard and documented RESTful APIs
  • GraphQL: flexible and optimized queries
  • OpenAPI/Swagger: automatic documentation
  • Versioning: evolution without breaking changes

Best Practices

  • Authentication and authorization (JWT, OAuth2)
  • Rate limiting and protection
  • Intelligent caching
  • Consistent error handling

Our Process

  1. Needs analysis: understanding context and constraints
  2. Design: architecture design and documentation
  3. Validation: review and adjustments
  4. Implementation: architecture-guided development
  5. Documentation: ADRs and technical guides

Architectural Patterns

Clean Architecture

  • Separation of concerns
  • Inverted dependencies
  • Maximum testability
  • Framework independence

Domain-Driven Design (DDD)

  • Business modeling
  • Bounded contexts
  • Ubiquitous language
  • Aggregates and entities

Event-Driven Architecture

  • Asynchronous communication
  • Service decoupling
  • Horizontal scalability
  • Failure resilience

Technologies and Tools

Backend

  • TypeScript: strong typing and maintainability
  • Node.js: performance and ecosystem
  • PostgreSQL: robust database
  • Redis: cache and sessions

Infrastructure

  • Docker: containerization
  • Kubernetes/Coolify: orchestration
  • CI/CD: deployment automation
  • Monitoring: complete observability

The SOLID principles guide our design: Single Responsibility (one class, one responsibility), Open/Closed (open to extension, closed to modification), Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation and Dependency Inversion. Solid foundations for maintainable code.

Architecture design defines the foundations of your project: analysis of functional and non-functional needs, choice of patterns and technologies, C4 documentation (Context, Container, Component, Code) and validation by prototyping. An architecture designed to last.

Choosing our software architecture expertise means benefiting from:

  • an architecture adapted to your real constraints, not oversized,
  • solid foundations for a serene evolution of the project,
  • proven patterns applied with pragmatism,
  • clear technical documentation for maintainability.

You get an architecture that supports your growth instead of hindering it.
