Microservices
What’s Included:
- Boundary analysis
- Messaging & events
- Observability
- Staged migration
We split systems along boundaries that already exist in the business — for when a monolith has genuinely stopped fitting, and not before.
Working Process
- Find The Seams – We look for the boundaries the business already has. Splitting a system along the wrong lines produces a distributed monolith, which is strictly worse than the one you had.
- Strangle, Don't Rewrite – Services are carved out one at a time behind the existing interface, in two-week cycles, with the old path live until the new one has proved itself.
- Cutover & Support – Traffic moved gradually with a rollback at every step, then 6–12 months of monitoring, patches and bug fixes included.
Most Systems Should Not Be Split
Microservices trade a problem you understand for a set of problems you cannot debug with a stack trace. We will tell you when a modular monolith is the right answer, and we say so before the engagement rather than after it.
- When the split is right, the payoff is teams deploying independently — so the boundaries follow the org chart and the data, not the layer diagram.
- Messaging, retries, idempotency, tracing and a deployment story are designed before the first service leaves the monolith, not discovered in production.
What We Deliver
- A boundary analysis with a recommendation
- Service extraction, one at a time, behind the old interface
- Event and messaging infrastructure
- Distributed tracing, metrics and alerting
Built To Be Handed Over
Documentation, tests and runbooks are part of the deliverable, not an afterthought you have to chase us for. Source, infrastructure definitions and design files live in accounts you control from the first commit.
Tools & Tech
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- RabbitMQ
- OpenTelemetry
Platforms, storefronts and internal systems delivered for clients across eCommerce, health tech, fintech and logistics.
Client satisfaction across delivered engagements — measured on what shipped, not on what was promised at kickoff.
Typical uptime after migration, with monitoring, alerting and zero-downtime deploys set up as part of the build.
What You Get
One senior team from discovery through to launch and beyond — weekly written updates, an open backlog, and direct access to the engineers doing the work. The people in your kickoff call are the people writing the code.
- An honest recommendation – Including “do not split this”, when a modular monolith is the better answer.
- Staged extraction – One service at a time behind the existing interface, with the old path live until the new one holds.
- Handover & support – Tracing, runbooks and alerting you own, plus 6–12 months of post-launch support.
How a project runs
The same five stages every time. Pick a project to see what each one produced.
Illustrative engagements — the stages are ours, the names and figures are examples.
- Span
- 18 weeks
- Team
- 4 engineers
- Stack
- Next.js
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- Docker
Discovery
2 weeksUnderstand the work before designing for it
Two weeks in the depot and the finance office. Eleven spreadsheets found, four of which disagreed about the same stock.
Signed scope
Architecture
2 weeksMake the expensive decisions deliberately
Stock, jobs and invoices modelled as one ledger, so a movement is recorded once and read everywhere rather than re-keyed three times.
Data model
Build
11 weeksTwo-week cycles against a signed scope
Five cycles. The depot module shipped first because that was the one costing a day a week.
Staging every fortnight
Launch
1 weekA rehearsed go-live with a way back
Run in parallel with the spreadsheets for nine days, until both sets of numbers agreed on a Friday close.
Cutover
Support
6 monthsMonths, not a handover email
Monitoring, month-end patches, and two rounds of changes the depot asked for once they had actually used it.
Handover
[ Project Brief ]
Bring us the brief, webring back the scope
Tell us what the system has to do, the metric you'd move, andthe deadline. Within 4 business hours we send back a writtenscope, a fixed estimate, and the two projects closest to theproblem you're describing.
Rather say it than type it?
Both of these reach the engineers who would do the work — no account manager in between, no discovery deck before the first question.
