The consultant leaves. The architecture doesn't stay.
DDD consulting costs four-figure daily rates, takes months, and leaves knowledge in the heads of individual consultants. Jardis generates the same architecture infrastructure as software. Reproducible, at a fraction of a single daily rate.
Why DDD consulting starts expensive and stays expensive.
External consultants solve real problems. But the model has structural weaknesses that no workshop fixes.
Daily rates that blow budgets
An experienced DDD consultant costs EUR 1,200 to 1,500 per day. A three-month architecture engagement runs EUR 60,000 to 90,000 easily. For a single system, one bounded context design. The next project, you pay again.
Knowledge leaves with the consultant
After three months, the consultant understands your domain better than your own team. Then the engagement ends. The knowledge lives in Miro boards, Confluence pages, and the head of someone who is no longer there. Six months later, nobody knows why the context boundaries were drawn that way.
Results take months, not days
Workshop phase, analysis, concept, review rounds, then implementation. Weeks or months pass before the first architecture decisions land in code. Meanwhile, the team keeps building on the old structure.
Software instead of daily rates. Architecture that lives in the repository.
Jardis does not replace strategic thinking. It replaces the manual infrastructure work that consulting firms bill months for.
An annual license costs less than one consultant day
One Bounded Context with Jardis costs a fraction of what a consultant bills per day. The Jardis Builder generates entities, aggregates, commands, queries, domain events, and the repository pipeline. Reproducible, on every re-run. No hourly rate, no scope creep, no renegotiation.
Architecture decisions live in code, not in slide decks
A consultant documents decisions in Confluence. The Jardis Builder codifies them as PHP architecture at the filesystem level. Bounded context boundaries are package structures. Layer separation is physically enforced. New team members read the code and understand the architecture without opening a Miro board.
Architecture in minutes, not quarters
Define the schema, start the builder, production-ready domain code is ready. No three-month assessment, no workshop marathon, no waiting for the final deliverable. Your team works from day one with generated architecture that enforces hexagonal principles at the code level.

Why teams switch from consulting to Jardis.
Not because consulting is worthless. But because infrastructure work does not need consultants.
One price, no surprises
A predictable annual license per Bounded Context. No scope creep, no renegotiation, no hidden workshop fees. Even with multiple Bounded Contexts, you pay less than one week of consulting.
Architecture belongs to your team
The generated PHP code lives in your repository. No external knowledge carrier, no consultant lock-in. New developers read the code and understand the structure because it is consistent and self-documenting.
Next project, same quality
Next system, next Bounded Context: start the builder, done. No new consulting engagement, no fresh domain assessment. Architecture quality is not tied to a person.

Discover JardisFrequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most important questions comparing Jardis and traditional DDD consulting.
No. Strategic design remains a team effort: which Bounded Contexts exist, where the boundaries lie, how domains interact. Event Storming and Context Mapping remain valuable. Jardis handles the tactical part: the PHP infrastructure a consultant would spend weeks implementing. Entities, aggregates, commands, events, repository pipeline.
