Frequently asked questions

Who wrote this whitepaper?
It was written and technically reviewed by the engineering team at NextGen Coding Company, a New York City custom software development firm. The authors are senior U.S.-based engineers and solution architects who build and operate the systems described here in production for clients.
How current is this research?
Every whitepaper carries a published date and a last-updated date near the top of the page. We revisit each paper when the underlying tooling, model families, cloud services, or compliance requirements change materially, and we re-date the page whenever the guidance itself changes.
Can we apply these patterns to our own stack?
Usually yes. The patterns here are deliberately described at the architecture level rather than tied to one vendor, so they translate across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The trade-offs shift with your data volume, latency budget, and compliance regime, which is what a discovery sprint sizes.
How do we work with NextGen on an implementation?
Start with a discovery and architecture sprint. In two to three weeks we produce a target architecture, a delivery plan, and a price. You can then continue with a fixed-scope build or a dedicated engineering team, and you own the code and infrastructure at every stage.
