It has to work, and keep working
We test the behavior that matters, handle failure deliberately, and make systems observable so that when something goes wrong, your team can see it and respond.
Our mission
What the company is for, and the three standards we hold our work to.
Merion Systems exists to build software that helps government and public-sector organizations do their jobs well, and that keeps working after we leave.
The next engineer has to be able to follow it
Clear code, an architecture that can be explained in a conversation, and documentation that is actually kept up to date. A system should still be workable years after it was delivered.
It has to fit the mission and the budget
We choose tools and approaches that match the problem, the money available, and the people who will operate the result. Complexity has to justify itself.
