Java Microservices Development

Architecture-first distributed systems for scalable products

About

Modern digital platforms demand reliability, speed and horizontal scalability — and Java microservices remain one of the most established foundations for business-critical systems. At H-Studio, we design architecture-first microservices systems using Java 17/21, event streaming technologies, distributed data patterns and cloud-native infrastructure. Spring Boot is often part of the stack, but the primary focus is system architecture: boundaries, contracts, failure modes, and operational resilience. We engineer backend systems designed for fault tolerance, scalability, observability and real-world production environments across and the EU.

Why Java Microservices?

Java remains the backbone of enterprise software for good reasons:

high and consistent performance characteristics under load
stable and well-understood behavior for business-critical applications
mature ecosystem (Spring, Kafka, gRPC, monitoring tools)
strong typing for long-term maintainability
strong security and compliance capabilities
perfect fit for distributed, event-driven architectures
robustness required by financial, banking, and large-scale B2B systems

Our Java engineers leverage this maturity to build systems designed to handle very high event volumes and throughput.

Java Microservices Development Services

1. Microservices Architecture & System Design

We design distributed architectures tailored to your product and growth plan:

  • domain-driven design (DDD)
  • high-availability microservices
  • asynchronous workflows
  • event-driven communication
  • API gateways & routing
  • resilience patterns (circuit breakers, retries, timeouts)
  • service discovery & configuration management

Your platform is designed to be modular, scalable and structurally sound.

2. Event-Driven Systems with Kafka & Messaging

We build platforms capable of handling large volumes of real-time events:

  • Kafka-based streaming
  • RabbitMQ / Pulsar messaging
  • exactly-once or at-least-once semantics
  • idempotent event processing
  • audit logs & replay strategies
  • high-throughput ingestion pipelines

Perfect for fintech, payments, logistics, IoT, data aggregation and AI workloads.

3. High-Load Backend Engineering

We optimise Java systems for demanding workloads:

  • JVM performance tuning
  • thread pool optimization
  • caching and distributed caching (Redis, Hazelcast)
  • connection pooling
  • performance & load testing
  • memory profiling
  • GC optimization

Your system is designed to remain responsive under high traffic conditions.

4. API Engineering (REST, gRPC, GraphQL)

We design stable API contracts that support long-term platform growth:

  • REST APIs with strict versioning
  • gRPC for internal high-performance communication
  • GraphQL where flexible querying is required
  • authentication/authorization frameworks
  • schema governance & validation
  • resilient error handling

APIs integrate seamlessly with frontends, mobile apps, partner systems and internal tools.

5. Data Architecture for Distributed Systems

We build robust data foundations for microservices:

  • PostgreSQL / MySQL / Oracle
  • event logs & streaming storage
  • schema migrations & evolution
  • distributed transactions (Sagas, Outbox patterns)
  • CQRS & read replicas
  • analytics-ready pipelines

Your data stays consistent across complex distributed workflows.

6. Cloud-Native Deployment on Kubernetes

We deploy Java microservices in scalable, automated environments:

  • Kubernetes clusters
  • autoscaling policies
  • zero-downtime deployments
  • Helm / Kustomize
  • service meshes (Istio/Linkerd)
  • observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK)
  • distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry, Jaeger)

This supports reliability throughout different stages of system growth.

7. Migration to Microservices / Modular Monolith

We help enterprises modernize legacy systems safely:

  • step-by-step decomposition of monoliths
  • modular monolith strategies where appropriate
  • hybrid architectures during transition
  • data flow redesign
  • API-first modernization
  • parallel run migration methods

Designed to minimise disruption while improving scalability.

8. Security, Compliance & Governance

Our Java systems meet strict enterprise requirements:

  • Spring Security
  • OAuth2 / JWT / SSO
  • secrets management
  • audit trails & access logs
  • data flows designed in line with GDPR principles
  • penetration testing support
  • encryption-in-transit & at-rest

Essential for finance, insurance, healthcare and public sector platforms.
