Microservices Development Services & Consulting
Explore the world of microservices and how they can transform the way organizations build and deliver software solutions.
Who We Are
Cyfrania is a custom software development and consulting company with over 20 years of experience. We can build large and complex applications quickly, reliably and sustainably.
What We Do
Cyfrania team develops solid and stable custom software solutions that are easy to maintain and evolve. We believe that one of the best ways to provide faster and more reliable services is by using microservices. However, at the customer's request, we can also do a U-turn, moving from microservices back to monolithic.
At Cyfrania, we provide guidance and expertise to organizations that are looking to adopt or optimize a microservices architecture. We offer various types of consulting services.
Evaluation of Microservices
It involves assessing the effectiveness and suitability of a microservices architecture for a particular system or organization. It includes analyzing various aspects of microservices to determine their benefits, challenges, and alignment with business goals.
Migration From Monolith to Microservices
It involves guiding organizations through the process of migrating from a monolithic architecture to a microservices architecture. This migration aims to improve scalability, agility, and maintainability of the software system.
Microservices Integration
It involves establishing mechanisms and patterns for data exchange, communication, and coordination between microservices.
Microservice Development
It is the process of designing, implementing, and deploying a software system based on the microservices architecture style.
It involves breaking down a monolithic application or building a new system from scratch using a collection of small, independent services that work together to provide the overall functionality of the application.

Steps of Microservices Development
The development of microservices involves several key steps to ensure the creation of flexible, scalable, and efficient software architecture.
Requirement Analysis
-
We understand the business requirements and goals of your application.
-
We identify the functionalities and services that need to be implemented as microservices.
Service Identification
-
We identify the different domains or components within a system.
-
We determine how they can be separated into individual services.
-
We define the boundaries and responsibilities of each microservice.
Data Management
-
We determine how data will be managed within the microservices.
-
We decide whether each service will have its own dedicated database or share a common database.
-
We consider trade-offs between data consistency and autonomy of services.
Communication Protocol
-
We decide on the communication mechanisms between microservices.
-
We choose an appropriate protocol such as HTTP/REST, messaging systems, or event-driven architectures based on a customer’s requirements.
Design the APIs
-
We design the APIs for each microservice.
-
We define the data contracts and ensure proper documentation to facilitate communication and integration between services.
Development and Testing
-
We implement each microservice individually, following best practices for development.
-
We write comprehensive unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to ensure the correctness and reliability of each service.
Deployment Strategy
-
We plan a deployment strategy based on infrastructure and operational needs.
-
We consider containerization technologies and orchestration platforms.
-
We decide on the deployment environment, such as on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid.
Monitoring and Maintenance
-
We continuously monitor and maintain microservices in production.
-
We collect and analyze metrics, logs, and other monitoring data to identify and resolve issues promptly.
-
We perform regular maintenance tasks like updates and performance optimizations.

FAQ
What are microservices?
Microservices are an architectural style that organizes an application as a collection of independently deployable, loosely coupled services, each focused on specific business capabilities. They offer several benefits, including easier deployment of new features without redeploying the entire application, increased developer productivity, and greater autonomy for development teams.
What is microservices development?
Microservices development is an architectural approach to software development in which an application is structured as a collection of small, loosely coupled and independently deployable services. Each service is responsible for a specific business function and can be developed, tested and deployed independently of other services.
What are the benefits of adopting a microservices architecture?
Adopting a microservices architecture offers the following benefits:
- Scalability and flexibility to handle varying workloads efficiently.
- Modularity and agility for faster development cycles and easier implementation of changes.
- Technological diversity, allowing the use of different tools and languages.
- Autonomous development and deployment, reducing dependencies and enabling faster releases.
How does microservices development differ from traditional monolithic development?
In a monolithic architecture, the entire application is built as a single, self-contained unit. All the functionalities and components are tightly coupled, and they run within a single process or a set of processes. In contrast, microservices architecture decomposes the application into a collection of loosely coupled services that are independently deployable and scalable.
How can I migrate from a monolithic architecture to microservices?
There are several migration strategies you can consider, depending on your specific needs and constraints. Some common strategies include the Strangler Fig pattern (gradually replacing parts of the monolith with microservices), the Parallel Run pattern (running the monolith and microservices side-by-side), or the Big Bang approach (rebuilding the entire application as microservices).
What are the costs associated with microservices development and maintenance?
The costs associated with microservices can vary depending on the specific implementation, the size and complexity of the application, and the organization's capabilities. Despite the potential costs, microservices can offer benefits such as scalability, flexibility, and improved agility, which may outweigh the additional expenses for many organizations.
How can I assess the readiness of my organization for adopting microservices?
- Evaluate if microservices align with your business goals.
- Assess your organization's existing architecture, infrastructure, and development practices.
- Evaluate if your team has the necessary skills or requires additional training.
- Evaluate if you have the necessary resources to support the adoption and maintenance of microservices.
