Microservices development for systems that need to scale
As applications grow, one large codebase becomes slow to change and risky to deploy. Our microservices development team splits systems into smaller services that can be built, scaled and released independently, when that's genuinely the right move.
At a glance
- Microservices architecture design
- Monolith to microservices migration
- APIs, events and messaging
- Containers, Kubernetes and observability
What is microservices development?
Microservices development is building an application as a set of small, independent services, each responsible for one business capability. Services communicate through APIs or events, can use different technologies, and can be deployed and scaled separately.
Services
What we do
We often recommend a modular monolith first, and only split services when there's a clear benefit.
Architecture design
Define service boundaries around your business domains.
Monolith migration
Gradually split a large application without a risky rewrite.
API and event design
REST, gRPC and event-driven communication between services.
Containers and orchestration
Docker, Kubernetes and managed container services.
Observability
Logging, tracing and monitoring across every service.
Documentation and ownership
Clear docs so teams can own services independently.
Is it right for you?
When microservices make sense
- Several teams work on the same large application
- Parts of the system have very different scalability needs
- Deployments are slow and risky because everything ships together
- You need to adopt new technology without a full rewrite
Compare
Microservices vs monolith
Microservices solve scaling problems but add complexity.
| Compare | Microservices | Monolith |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Each service separately | Everything together |
| Scaling | Per service | Whole application |
| Complexity | Higher, more moving parts | Lower, one codebase |
| Best for | Large systems and multiple teams | Most new and smaller apps |

Why Kedra Digi
Why work with us
Designers, developers and testers work together in-house. Your project is never passed to a subcontractor.
Before any work starts you get an itemised proposal that explains what we'll build and how.
Source code, designs, documentation and accounts are handed over to you. There's no lock-in.
We monitor, maintain and improve what we build for as long as you need us.
Kedra Digi is an Australian-owned software development company. See our recent projects.
