Technology isn't magic. It grows and ages like a garden. It gets creaky and inflexible, insecure and slow. Sometimes the growth is managed, and sometimes it isn't.

The design and care of software systems has real-world impacts. Teams find it harder to make changes. Hosting costs spiral out of control. Carbon footprints increase as SEO ranking drops.

At Groundlake, we care about software systems being fit-for-purpose. Good software should allow changes to happen easily, make managers and developers alike happy, and use less energy to perform the right tasks.
