Technology Consulting. Architects for the enterprise.
Relic's technology consulting practice partners with CTOs and CIOs to make the hard architectural calls, build vs. buy, monolith vs. microservices, on-prem vs. edge, and to write the reference architectures that unlock a decade of engineering velocity.
What you get with Relic.
Fewer, better bets
Decision records that survive team turnover and vendor churn.
Engineering velocity
Golden paths and paved roads reduce cognitive load across teams.
Resilience by default
Failure-mode analysis, chaos testing and graceful degradation.
Total cost visibility
TCO models per capability, not per line item.
What we're built to solve.
Architecture-by-accident
Systems evolved organically; no one owns the map.
Legacy modernization risk
Big-bang rewrites collapse under their own weight.
Integration nightmare
Point-to-point spaghetti between SaaS, custom and legacy apps.
Platform vs. product tension
Central teams and product squads pull in opposite directions.
How Relic delivers.

Integration platforms
Event mesh, API management and canonical data models.
Internal Developer Platform
Self-service, secure-by-default developer experience.
A modern stack.
Our delivery rhythm.
Deep-dive workshops to align technology moves with business outcomes and quantify ROI.
Reference architectures, target operating models and a phased delivery roadmap.
Sprint-based delivery with senior engineers, embedded QA and continuous stakeholder demos.
Blue/green rollouts, feature flags and a runbook-first approach to production readiness.
Observability, FinOps and iterative tuning to compound value after launch.
Selected outcomes.
Strangler-fig pattern with API facades let 40 teams migrate at their own pace.
Consolidated onto an event mesh with governed data contracts.
Split a Rails monolith into 14 services along bounded contexts.
Frequently asked.
Will you write code or just diagrams?+
Both. Relic architects prototype the risky bits so the plan is proven, not promised.
How long is an engagement?+
8–16 weeks for architecture; multi-quarter for modernization runs.
Can you review our existing architecture?+
Yes, a 4-week diagnostic delivers findings, risks and a prioritized backlog.
Do you help with build-vs-buy decisions?+
Yes. We produce decision records with TCO, risk and vendor options so leadership can commit with confidence.
Will you work with our enterprise architects?+
We co-create with your EA and platform teams so target-state designs are owned inside your org, not only by Relic.
