SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE · DATA · ENGINEERING
Zawatu is an engineering consulting practice focused on systems architecture, data platforms and dependable software. We connect technical decisions to the work your organization needs to accomplish.
Start with the problem, then agree the work. Architecture reviews, engineering design and implementation are scoped around your constraints and operating responsibilities.
Define boundaries, integrations, ownership and quality requirements before choosing technology.
02 ↗Build a traceable path from operational records to reliable reporting, with explicit quality and recovery rules.
03 ↗Design maintainable backend services, APIs and business workflows with clear responsibilities.
04 ↗Make releases repeatable and operations observable, with practical access, recovery and handover procedures.
A focused starting engagement for organizations facing fragmented systems, unreliable reporting or difficult technology decisions.
Discuss your system ↗Scope, access, deliverables, timing and fees are agreed in writing before work begins. Implementation is scoped separately.
ZAF — Zawatu Architecture Framework — is our evolving approach to assessing systems and explaining architecture decisions. It starts with purpose and principles, then maps suitable technology to the actual constraints.
Explore the framework ↗Design permission checks, record versions and retries together so a timeout or concurrent edit cannot silently change what was approved.
Read the analysis ↗A practical way to define metrics, source coverage, corrections and freshness so a report can be explained and reconciled.
Read the analysis ↗Evaluate release traceability, access, restoration and operating ownership before introducing more infrastructure components.
