Microservices and scalable architecture
Domain decomposition, message bus (Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS), OpenTelemetry observability and Kubernetes deploys.
Microservices are not a goal — they are a solution to a specific problem. When the monolith no longer scales per-domain, when teams cannot work in parallel without code conflicts, or when one component's SLA drags the rest. We do not move to microservices to look "modern" — we do it when the call is justified, with a deliberate transition plan from the monolith.
What we deliver
- Domain analysis (Event Storming) and service map
- Inter-service communication — sync (gRPC/REST) and async (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
- Service mesh when needed (Istio, Linkerd) for mTLS and traffic control
- Centralized observability — distributed tracing, metrics, logs
- Per-service CI/CD with canaries and progressive deploy
- Operations runbook for incident response and on-call rotation
When to call us
- The monolith has 1000+ classes and deploys take 30 minutes
- Different parts of the system have completely different load profiles
- Multiple teams work in parallel and block each other in the same repo
- You need zero-downtime deploys but the monolith cannot deliver
How we work
Discovery + Event Storming workshop → pilot-service selection (lowest risk, highest payoff) → strangler-fig migration — gradual extraction from the monolith → standing up observability and deploy infrastructure → migrating the remaining domains in controlled steps. Never a "big bang" rewrite.
