Microservices Consulting Services
Microservices design and development, focused on delivering agility and scalabilityMove fast and adapt by building a resilient microservices architecture
You need to move faster. Your users want more. Building agility into both your systems and processes is the only way to future-proof your business. A microservices enterprise architecture enables individual services to be deployed and scaled independently—giving your teams the autonomy they need to deliver more at speed.
As seasoned microservices consultants, we collaborate closely with all stakeholders and empower your development teams with agile tools and processes. We make sure that the very first service we deliver becomes a blueprint for continued growth.

Why invest in microservices consulting services?
If your system wasn’t built yesterday, you’re probably dealing with a monolithic architecture—which means adding something affects the entire code base. Over time, this type of system becomes unsustainable and you’ll start to see the cracks across your team, technology, and business. If any of these symptoms sound like you, it might be time to get moving on your microservices strategy:
- Time to production is too slow
- The system breaks when you try to add new features
- You’re spending too much on individual updates
- Your developers are frustrated
- You’re having trouble hiring new talent
- Your system is slowing down causing conversion rates to lag
- You’re experiencing too much downtime

Benefits of microservices
Microservices deliver macro value
Microservices is not a buzz term—it’s a surefire strategy for getting your systems up to speed and setting you up for future growth. More than an IT solution, microservices is a business value-driver that breeds:

Agility
Your development pipeline shrinks, and teams have the autonomy to bring new features to market with speed

Resilience
Infrastructure agnostic and independent, microservices are much easier to update and maintain

Scale
You can scale individual services separately to meet the specific and ever-changing needs of your users and your business
And while it may seem like a long-term investment, most companies will start seeing returns almost instantly, with the release of the first service. That’s because launching a microservices strategy becomes a catalyst for organizational change, delivering benefits across your team, technology, and business:
Team
- Freedom to adopt the right tools and languages
- Quicker feature adds, with less to test
- Greater team autonomy and ownership
Technology
- More resilient, scalable systems
- Access to more modern and tailored technologies
- Simpler solutions and end-user experiences
Business
- Reduced risk of change and faster ROI
- Organization-wide alignment
- Ability to adapt to new needs and focus on innovation

Microservices success stories
As enterprise architecture experts, we recognize the value that microservices can bring to our partners, and have flourished as a microservices consultancy. When you come to us with certain challenges, we can point you to these very real success stories that illustrate the value of having a trusted guide on your microservices journey.

Making eMoney more agile with microservices
Fintech pioneer, eMoney, needed to rethink its application architecture to continue to grow with their users. We helped design and develop a microservices architecture while empowering their development teams with agile tools, keeping eMoney competitive in their market.
Building truly autonomous microservices helps scale this MES system
Our client’s system was not agile enough to handle a variety of clients at scale, so they tried to move to a microservices design on their own. It didn’t work. We came in to assess the microservices architecture, resolve complex dependencies, and created a new, solid blueprint for moving forward.

Mapping FSLSO’s path to continued innovation
The Florida Surplus Lines Service Office (FSLSO) had an application that was rife with dependencies and hard to update. We came in to analyze the proposed microservices architecture and ramp up their DevOps practices, delivering an optimized architecture, backlog, and delivery roadmap.
Phases of your microservices development journey
We’re not just microservices developers, we’re microservices consultants. And as consultants, our job is to understand your existing system as well as your goals and priorities to get you to the most value most efficiently.
Our right-sized approach to microservices involves finding a starting point that makes the most sense for your business—regardless of the actual service size. From there, we’ve honed a manageable process for migrating those features from the monolith seamlessly, creating the blueprint for building a more flexible and resilient architecture:

1. Define the business boundaries
We dive into your application, interview users and product owners, and create visual maps of service boundaries that will guide the process forward.

2. Identify the first microservice
We choose a right-sized service to start with by considering key factors such as feature-planning, team abilities, performance issues, and complexity.

3. Create the backlog
Through a detailed dependency analysis we extract the core code of the bounded contexts to tease the monolith system apart and assign deeper research tasks and development tickets.

4. Develop and test
We propose an architecture based on the needs of the service, while simultaneously developing a regression test plan to ensure feature parity once the work is complete.

5. Deploy the microservice
Whenever possible we develop microservices as features that can be switched on and off in production, ensuring rollback is always an option.

6. Iterate and scale
We utilize success patterns and lessons learned to plan for and grow a robust microservices architecture.
No microservices project is equal. That’s why we take the time to really dig into your system and get to know your teams in order to develop a strategy that works with and for your business.
