Every growing business needs a scalable architecture.
The pattern repeats all over — a business in startup phase bootstraps their product for MVP, taking shortcuts and leaving technical debt all over. The product finds market fit, business picks up and the system struggles to cope with production use as new features are implemented however possible. Over time, this leads to an inflexible, heavily coupled monolith and version 2.0 starts to sound like something that’s needed.
A complete rewrite seldom makes sense. Instead, a target architecture should be defined, and the system should be refactored piece by piece to approach the ideal.
The intricacies of this process can trip up even experienced development teams, but there are often low-hanging fruit and opportunities for small changes to make a huge improvement.
It doesn’t always make sense to hire an architect, but often makes sense to consult a professional.
