System Design & Architecture Services

Design scalable, maintainable, and efficient systems from the ground up. We provide expert system design consulting from high-level architecture to detailed low-level implementation.

Our System Design Approach

From concept to implementation, we design systems at every level

High-Level Design (HLD)

Define the overall system architecture, component interactions, and data flow for your application.

System architecture and component diagram
Technology stack selection and justification
Data flow and integration patterns
Scalability and high availability strategy
Security architecture and access control
Third-party integrations and APIs

Low-Level Design (LLD)

Detailed design of individual components, data models, algorithms, and implementation specifications.

Database schema design and normalization
API contract specifications (REST/GraphQL)
Class diagrams and object relationships
Algorithm design and complexity analysis
Sequence diagrams for critical flows
Error handling and edge case scenarios

Architecture Patterns We Implement

Modern architectural patterns for scalable and maintainable systems

🏗️

Microservices Architecture

Independent, loosely coupled services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.

Core Design Principles

Fundamental principles guiding our system design approach

Scalability

Design for horizontal and vertical scaling to handle growth

Modularity

Loose coupling and high cohesion for maintainable code

Performance

Optimize for speed, efficiency, and resource utilization

Reliability

Build fault-tolerant systems with redundancy and failover

Scalability & Performance Optimization

Design systems that scale from MVP to millions of users

Horizontal Scaling

Scale out by adding more instances of services to handle increased load and traffic.

  • Load balancing across multiple servers
  • Stateless application design
  • Database read replicas and sharding
  • Distributed caching layers
  • Auto-scaling based on metrics

Vertical Scaling

Scale up by increasing resources (CPU, RAM, storage) of existing infrastructure.

  • Performance profiling and optimization
  • Database query optimization and indexing
  • Connection pooling and resource management
  • Caching frequently accessed data
  • Asynchronous processing for heavy tasks

Database Scalability

Design data layers that scale with application growth and maintain performance.

  • Database sharding and partitioning
  • Read replicas for read-heavy workloads
  • CQRS for separate read/write models
  • NoSQL for flexible schema and scaling
  • Materialized views and denormalization

Caching Strategies

Implement multi-level caching to reduce latency and database load significantly.

  • Redis/Memcached for application caching
  • CDN for static assets and content
  • API response caching with TTL
  • Database query result caching
  • Cache invalidation strategies

Key System Components We Design

Complete system design from API layer to data storage

API Layer Design

RESTful and GraphQL APIs with versioning, authentication, and rate limiting

  • REST vs GraphQL selection
  • API versioning strategy
  • Authentication & authorization
  • Rate limiting & throttling

Database Architecture

Relational and NoSQL database design with sharding and replication

  • SQL vs NoSQL selection
  • Schema design & normalization
  • Indexing strategy
  • Replication & sharding

Message Queues

Asynchronous processing with RabbitMQ, Kafka, or AWS SQS

  • Queue vs topic selection
  • Message ordering guarantees
  • Dead letter queues
  • Consumer scaling

Authentication System

Secure user authentication with JWT, OAuth 2.0, and session management

  • JWT vs session tokens
  • OAuth 2.0 flows
  • Multi-factor authentication
  • Token refresh strategy

Caching Layer

Multi-level caching with Redis, Memcached, and CDN integration

  • Cache-aside vs write-through
  • TTL strategy
  • Cache invalidation
  • Distributed caching

Monitoring & Logging

Observability with metrics, logs, traces, and alerting systems

  • Centralized logging
  • Distributed tracing
  • Metrics collection
  • Alert thresholds
