You are planning a new application, weighing technologies or questioning whether your current architecture can support the next stage. Lutrisoft helps you understand the options and make technical decisions grounded in your business needs.
You work directly with Max Dietrich, founder of Lutrisoft and a developer with over ten years of experience. We connect architectural thinking with implementation experience, making trade-offs, risks and assumptions explicit rather than prescribing unnecessary complexity.
Consulting is useful when uncertainty is blocking progress or a decision could be expensive to reverse. We focus on the questions that matter for your product, team and operations.
You need to decide how an application should be structured, which technologies fit and how it will connect to existing systems. The solution should meet your requirements without exceeding what your team can build and operate.
Growing requirements expose unclear boundaries, competing technical proposals or risks that are hard to assess. An outside perspective can help separate evidence from assumptions and identify a realistic next step.
These areas can be combined or addressed through a focused engagement. The deliverables below are examples; we agree on the questions, depth of analysis and scope together.
When a new application needs a technical design or existing system boundaries no longer fit your requirements.
We start with business workflows, expected load, reliability needs and team capabilities. We compare suitable designs and choose the simplest structure that meets the requirements, with room to evolve where needed.
When you need to choose a language, framework, database or hosting platform and want to understand the consequences.
We evaluate options against actual use cases rather than trends. Existing team knowledge, integration constraints and long-term operation matter alongside technical capabilities; a small experiment can help resolve key uncertainties.
When you need an independent view of a codebase, architecture or technical proposal before committing to further investment.
We agree on the review questions and available evidence first. Findings explain their practical impact and limitations; a focused review is not a comprehensive security audit or a guarantee that every issue will be found.
When the direction is broadly clear but the work needs to be broken into feasible stages with explicit dependencies.
We weigh value, effort and risk with your team, identify what must be learned first and plan useful increments. Estimates remain explicit assumptions, not promises of certainty before implementation has begun.
We tailor the engagement to the decision at hand. A focused workshop or review can be enough; deeper analysis and implementation support are agreed separately where useful.
We discuss business goals, stakeholders, technical requirements and the decisions already made. Together, we define the questions to answer and the evidence available.
Possible outcome: An agreed scope, decision criteria and a shared understanding of success.
We review relevant documentation and code, talk to your team and compare practical alternatives. Targeted experiments help investigate the assumptions with the greatest impact.
Possible outcome: A grounded comparison of options, with risks and remaining uncertainties visible.
We discuss the findings, document the reasoning and translate the chosen direction into prioritized work. Your team remains involved in decisions and understands the compromises.
Possible outcome: A documented recommendation and a feasible first work package.
We explain the design, decision records and open questions. Where agreed, we support an initial implementation or review results so the plan can be adjusted using practical feedback.
Possible outcome: Usable documentation and clear checkpoints for implementation and further decisions.
Practical advice, not architecture for its own sake. You work directly with Max Dietrich, Lutrisoft’s founder and developer, with a clearly agreed scope. Implementation work or additional specialists from the network are included only by agreement.
In my most recent project, I took technical ownership of the backend and its architecture for a platform serving housing companies.

Tell us about your product, the question you need to resolve and the constraints that matter. Existing diagrams, a brief technology overview and any timing requirements are useful starting points.
Together, we can clarify whether a workshop, focused assessment or architecture concept would be a useful next step.
