Solo vs enterprise architecture: both can be right

FLOWiGANTT adapts architecture depth to team reality, then cascades those decisions into PRD and execution tasks automatically.

One idea, two valid architectures

A SaaS marketplace can be implemented as a startup-friendly monorepo or as an enterprise multi-service platform. The right answer depends on team size, operational maturity, compliance, and expected scale.

Why both outputs are correct

FLOWiGANTT does not force one stack. It adjusts recommendations based on your selected planning mode and constraints so architecture matches delivery capacity.

  • Solo: lower ops overhead, faster iteration, fewer moving parts
  • Enterprise: clearer service boundaries, governance, and scaling controls
  • Both keep reasoning explicit so tradeoffs are transparent

Choose startup or enterprise mode

Mode selection shapes architecture detail and complexity level from the beginning.

Compare architecture outputs side by side

For the same product idea, review infra, repo strategy, service boundaries, and deployment model differences.

  • Solo example: Railway, modular monorepo, shared data services
  • Enterprise example: AWS-managed services, microservices, multi-repo controls

Different constraints produce different architecture.

See task cascade from architecture choices

Architecture is not isolated. It directly changes PRD complexity, task granularity, timelines, and AI acceleration assumptions.
