Key Benefits for Dubai-Based Organisations

Clarity and Control from Day One

You gain a clear view of how your platform is structured, how it scales, and how it is secured. This reduces uncertainty for leadership and gives your technical team a solid reference to work from.

Faster, Safer Delivery of Features

With CI/CD, environments, and standards in place, your developers can focus on business features instead of constantly fixing infrastructure issues. Time-to-market improves without sacrificing quality.

Optimised Investment and Reduced Rework

A solid architecture reduces the hidden costs of refactoring, firefighting, and vendor lock-in. Your budget is invested in a foundation that will support your platform for years, not months.

A Long-Term Technical Partner in Dubai

Beyond the initial setup, Stralya can stay by your side as a strategic partner: advising on key decisions, supporting complex evolutions, and ensuring your architecture keeps pace with your ambitions.

Delivery Approach

How We Deliver Your Standard Architecture Setup

Our approach is designed for decision-makers in Dubai who want clarity, accountability, and tangible outcomes. Every Standard Architecture Setup is delivered by senior cloud-native specialists, following a structured but pragmatic process. You always know what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what you will receive at each stage.

We start with focused workshops with your CTO, product owner, or project lead. Together, we clarify business objectives, compliance constraints, traffic expectations, integration points, and internal capabilities. This ensures the architecture is adapted to your real-world context in Dubai and the wider GCC, not just to generic best practices.

Our senior architects design a cloud-native reference architecture covering environments, networking, security layers, data flows, and deployment strategy. We present a clear, visual architecture proposal, validate it with your technical stakeholders, and refine it until it meets both your strategic and operational needs.

We implement the agreed architecture using infrastructure-as-code and proven tooling. This typically includes environment setup, CI/CD pipelines, logging, monitoring, alerting, and security baselines. Our focus is to deliver a production-ready foundation that your team can start building on immediately.

We deliver clear, structured documentation of your architecture, including diagrams, technical decisions, and operational guidelines. A dedicated handover session ensures your internal team or partner vendors understand how to work within this architecture safely and efficiently.

If you wish, Stralya can stay involved to support your team, review major technical decisions, and evolve the architecture as your platform grows. This can be done through a maintenance SLA or selective senior staff augmentation for high-value missions.

Find Commonly Asked Questions

This service is designed for organisations in Dubai and the GCC that treat their web platform as a critical asset: startups and scale-ups preparing for growth, SMEs and enterprises undergoing digital transformation, and governmental or semi-governmental entities with strict reliability and security requirements. It is ideal if you want a solid, cloud-native foundation before scaling development.

While the exact scope depends on your context, a Standard Architecture Setup typically includes: cloud account and environment structure, networking and security layers, CI/CD pipelines, logging and monitoring stack, basic alerting, environment segregation (dev/stage/prod), and documentation. We define the full scope with you during the discovery phase and commit to it in a fixed-price proposal.

For a typical web project, the Standard Architecture Setup is delivered within 2–4 weeks from project kickoff, depending on the complexity of your requirements and the responsiveness of your stakeholders. For more complex, regulated, or multi-region architectures, timelines may be adjusted accordingly, but always agreed upfront.

Yes. Many Dubai clients ask Stralya to design and implement the architecture, then let their internal team or an existing vendor handle feature development. We structure our documentation and handover sessions so that external teams can adopt the architecture with minimal friction, while you keep full ownership and visibility.

Absolutely. For projects that are unstable, hard to maintain, or stuck in delivery, a Standard Architecture Setup can act as a reset. We analyse the current situation, define a target architecture, and implement a structured foundation that stabilises the project and allows you to move forward with confidence.

Yes. The Standard Architecture Setup is delivered as a fixed-price project with a clearly defined scope, deliverables, and timeline. This aligns with our project-first philosophy and gives you financial visibility and control from the start.
