Production Proof Sprint
When the architecture exists but nobody has tested its critical assumptions in practice: a working production slice in 3–4 weeks.

Replace diagrams with production reality
Built for cases where a target architecture has been approved but critical questions remain: Does the data model hold? Does the deployment path work? Are security, observability, and operations practical? Can the team build reliably from this foundation?
Instead of building a broad prototype, one narrow end-to-end path is implemented in the real target environment. It connects the highest-risk parts of data, cloud, application, and operations.
What exists after 3–4 weeks
- A deployed, working slice along a real business case
- Reproducible infrastructure and an automated build and deployment path
- Tests, monitoring, and documented operational requirements
- Validated architecture decisions and newly visible residual risks
- A concrete plan for expansion, team handover, or the next investment decision
Delivery follows pragmatic software development, Test-Driven Development, and data protection and security. Supporting articles cover application development and cloud computing.
From architecture to running software
Formfix demonstrates application architecture and full-stack delivery for the public sector. At Openhealthtechnologies, architecture and implementation run from cloud organisation to build pipeline. The betterplace.org cloud migration shows the path from traditional infrastructure to an automated production system.
If the unresolved decision or blocker is not yet clear, start with the Architecture Rescue Sprint.
Test critical assumptions with running software
The initial conversation defines the business case, largest risks, target environment, and useful scope of the production slice.
