What Is a Solutions Architect?

The Role

Designs how the pieces of your system fit together and connect to other tools. Early architecture choices are the hardest and most expensive to change later.

What They Do

  • Designs the overall structure of the system.
  • Chooses how it connects to your other tools and data.
  • Plans for security, scale, and cost from the start.
  • Documents the decisions and the reasons for them.
  • Reviews whether existing software can be kept, extended, or must be replaced.

When It Matters

Before a build starts, and whenever a system has to scale, integrate, or be modernized. Early architecture choices are the hardest and most expensive to change later.
