// ARCHITECTURE Β· MICROSERVICES

Microservices: when splitting truly makes sense.

Microservices aren't an end in themselves. Used well, they speed teams up; used badly, they add complexity you'll pay for a long time.

// THE REAL QUESTION

Not a trend, a trade-off.

01

The promise

Independent services, deployable separately, by autonomous teams. Ideal when the organisation and the product justify it.

02

The trap

Premature splitting turns function calls into network calls: latency, partial failures, hard debugging. A well-structured monolith is often preferable.

03

Our approach

We assess your context (team size, domains, load) before recommending, or not, a split, and where to put it.

// WHAT WE DO

What we assess.

Domains

Clear business boundaries to isolate.

Teams

An organisation that can own the services.

Coupling

The network cost vs the autonomy gain.

Operations

The ability to run N services.

// WHAT'S INCLUDED

The scope, no surprises.

An honest assessment of relevance
A split by domains, if justified
The inter-service communication strategy
The resilience patterns required
The path from the existing setup
A clear recommendation, including β€œnot now”
// HOW WE START

A starting point, a deliverable, execution.

01

Audit / scoping

5 to 10 days to map the existing setup and quantify the starting point, read-only.

02

The deliverable

A concrete action plan, at a fixed price, with gains and risks set down in black and white.

03

Execution

We execute with your engineers, in days, not quarters.

// FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

No. It's a tool. For many teams, a modular monolith is the right choice.
// WHAT'S NEXT
→ Scalable architecture→→ Architecture overhaul→

Split only if it pays off.

We assess the relevance before recommending it to you.
