What We Do
Architecture Design
Service boundaries, API contracts, and data ownership that scale with your organization.
Distributed Systems Patterns
Sagas, event sourcing, CQRS, circuit breakers—the patterns that make distributed systems work.
API Design
REST, GraphQL, gRPC—APIs that are usable, evolvable, and documented.
Service Mesh
Istio, Linkerd, or cloud-native alternatives for service-to-service communication.
Legacy Decomposition
Breaking apart monoliths incrementally without stopping feature development.
Event-Driven Architecture
Kafka, Pub/Sub, event buses—decoupled systems that scale independently.
Architectural Patterns
Domain-Driven Design
Bounded contexts and aggregates that map to real business capabilities.
API-First Development
Contracts defined before implementation, enabling parallel development.
Observability
Distributed tracing, metrics, and logging that make complex systems debuggable.
Resilience Patterns
Retries, timeouts, bulkheads, and circuit breakers for graceful degradation.
How We Work
Domain Mapping
Understanding your business capabilities and how they map to technical boundaries.
Architecture
Designing service boundaries, contracts, and interaction patterns.
Validation
Prototyping critical paths to validate architectural decisions before full commitment.
Implementation
Building services, APIs, and infrastructure with your team.
Operations
Observability, deployment automation, and operational practices for distributed systems.
Documentation
Architecture decision records, API documentation, and operational runbooks.
When to Call Us
Your monolith is slowing you down
We'll help you identify which parts to extract and how to do it incrementally without stopping feature work.
You're starting something new that needs to scale
We'll design an architecture that's appropriately complex for your current stage with clear evolution paths.
Your microservices feel like a distributed monolith
We'll analyze your current architecture, identify coupling issues, and design a path to actual independence.
Teams are blocked on each other despite having separate services
We'll help you fix service boundaries, contracts, and ownership to restore autonomous delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should we use microservices?
+Maybe. Microservices solve organizational scaling problems but add technical complexity. If you have a small team, a well-structured monolith is often better. We’ll help you make the right choice for your situation.
How do you handle data consistency across services?
+Distributed transactions are usually the wrong answer. We use patterns like sagas, eventual consistency, and event sourcing where appropriate—choosing the right consistency model for each use case.
What about service mesh—do we need it?
+Service mesh adds operational complexity. It’s valuable at scale for consistent observability, security, and traffic management. For smaller deployments, simpler approaches often work better. We’ll help you decide.
How do you handle service-to-service authentication?
+Usually with mutual TLS and service identity, often managed by your cloud provider or service mesh. We’ll design an approach that balances security with operational simplicity.
