PATTERN · SERVICE BOUNDARIES

Microservices, only when the org needs them.

Microservices solve an organizational problem before a technical one. We split services along real boundaries, and we are honest when a well-built monolith is the better call.

[THE SHORT VERSION]

A team-scaling pattern, not a default.

Microservices let independent teams deploy independently, which is their real value. They also add network calls, distributed failure, and operational overhead. For most products a modular monolith ships faster and breaks less. We split only where team or scale boundaries justify it.

When it fits
  • Multiple teams needing independent deploys
  • Components with genuinely different scaling needs
  • Decomposing a monolith that has hit real limits
When it does not
  • Small teams and early products, where a monolith wins
[HOW WE BUILD IT]

How we build with Microservices.

01

Scope and fit

We decide where Microservices earns its place in your system, and where a simpler tool wins. No resume-driven architecture.

02

Build on a tested foundation

We integrate Microservices against a foundation we trust: typed code, CI, and observability from the first commit. Boring infrastructure, modern surface.

03

Eval before launch

An eval suite proves the build behaves before it reaches a user. We measure, then ship.

04

Handoff with ownership

Your team gets the code, the tests, and a runbook. No lock-in to us or to a vendor framework.
