Pipeline Architecture Engagement
A time-bound consulting engagement that maps how your sources land, transform, and land again — then writes a concrete build plan your engineers can execute without guesswork.
Flow Dock Core
Data pipeline engineering consulting for the jobs that already ship — and the ones that fail quietly overnight.
We sit with your orchestration graphs, ingestion paths, and incident notes, then write a build plan your engineers can execute without another speculative rewrite.
Engagements we take on
Each engagement is a written consulting deliverable for a bounded pipeline surface — not a hosted platform and not an open-ended staffing contract.
Ingestion Path Review
A focused reading of how files, events, or API payloads enter your warehouse — naming the brittle hops before they become overnight incidents.
Batch-to-Streaming Migration Advice
Advice on which batch jobs should move to streams, which should stay nightly, and what correctness checks must travel with the cutover.
Pipeline Failure Postmortem Facilitation
A facilitated postmortem that reconstructs the failed run from logs and handoffs, then leaves a written fix list rather than a blame narrative.
Schema Contract Workshop
A workshop that turns informal “we’ll tell you when columns change” habits into written contracts producers and consumers can both enforce.
Flagship: Pipeline Architecture Engagement
For one product domain we inventory sources and sinks, map latency against the SLAs you already promise, and leave a sequenced rebuild plan. The deliverable is a signed brief and a ninety-minute walkthrough with the commissioning lead.
We decline work that exists only as a slide deck with no running jobs. We also decline certifications of vendor products we have not reviewed.
From a logistics platform lead
They caught that our “hourly” job was waiting on a nightly extract we had forgotten existed. The brief was blunt about that, and a little dry — which is what we needed before we spent another sprint on the wrong hop.
