Backend & Distributed Systems

Java Microservices & Custom Enterprise Systems

High-throughput Spring Boot 3 / Java 21 microservices, Apache Kafka event pipelines, legacy monolith modernisation, and custom operational backends.

Who This Service Is Built For
  • CTOs and VPs of Engineering untangling slow legacy Java/.NET monoliths or brittle batch jobs
  • Logistics, fintech, and B2B operations teams outgrowing off-the-shelf ERP/CRM limits
  • Engineering managers needing senior Spring Boot & Kafka capacity without a 4-month hiring cycle
Led in Dublin by Taimoor Hassan (09:00–17:00 GMT/IST (Mon–Fri)) with senior Islamabad engineers.
Problems Solved

Technical bottlenecks we resolve

Concrete operational and architectural issues we eliminate for engineering teams.

Common Bottleneck

Tightly coupled monoliths where every release risks production regressions

Engineering Approach

Incremental strangler-fig service extraction with contract tests and isolated databases.

Common Bottleneck

Dropped webhooks, duplicate orders, or out-of-sync ERP inventory under peak load

Engineering Approach

Partitioned Kafka topics paired with transactional outbox consumers and dead-letter queues.

Common Bottleneck

Per-seat SaaS licensing sprawl and manual spreadsheet handoffs across ops teams

Engineering Approach

Role-based internal workflow engines built around your exact approval and audit rules.

Reference Blueprint

Distributed Java 21 & Spring Boot 3 Service Architecture with Apache Kafka

01. Edge Gateway

API Gateway & IAM

Rate limiting, role-based access claims, and request validation.

Spring Cloud Gateway / OAuth2
02. Event Mesh

Event Broker

Partitioned topics, transactional outbox pattern, and dead-letter recovery.

Apache Kafka + Schema Registry
03. Core Domain

Domain Services

Clean domain-driven services using virtual threads for high I/O concurrency.

Java 21, Spring Boot 3
04. Data Store

ACID Databases & Cache

Relational integrity, audit logging, and low-latency read caching.

PostgreSQL + Redis

Java 21 Virtual Threads

High request concurrency on lean compute footprints without complex reactive callback chains.

Custom Operational Workflows

Replace brittle spreadsheet glue and per-seat vendor bottlenecks with maintainable domain services.

At-Least-Once Event Consistency

Transactional outbox and idempotent Kafka consumers engineered to prevent silent message drops.

Automated Integration Testing

Testcontainers suites spin up real PostgreSQL and Kafka instances in CI on every pull request.

2-Week Pilot Scope & Conditions

Start with one bounded workflow before any ongoing commitment

Clear deliverables, client prerequisites, exclusions, and acceptance criteria so expectations match on both sides.

Typical 10-Day Staging Deliverables
  • Clean hexagonal Spring Boot 3 service repository in your Git org
  • Kafka producer/consumer setup with dead-letter queue and schema validation
  • Automated Testcontainers integration tests for PostgreSQL and Kafka flows
  • Docker image, Helm/Compose config, and OpenTelemetry tracing hooks
Release Environment: Isolated Docker/Kubernetes staging environment with OpenTelemetry traces. (Production cutover follows your sign-off.)
Included Single Workflow

One bounded domain service or Kafka event pipeline with PostgreSQL schema and OpenAPI spec.

What Your Team Provides

Sample payload schemas, access to target staging repo/cloud, and a 60-minute Day 1 domain walkthrough.

Dependencies & Exclusions

Full multi-year monolith migration, historical data cleansing, and third-party ERP vendor support tickets.

Acceptance & IP Ownership

Passing Testcontainers integration suite, documented load benchmark, and live staging endpoint. Backed by a 10-business-day defect remediation window. 100% of IP assigns upon pilot invoice settlement.

Relevant Project Evidence

High-Throughput Fleet & Dispatch Telematics Engine

Completed Client Engagement (Client anonymized under mutual NDA)

B2B Logistics & Telematics12 Weeks (2-Week Pilot + 5 Bi-Weekly Sprints)1 Lead Architect + 2 Senior Java/KMP Engineers

Client Problem

A commercial fleet operator relied on polling-based REST endpoints and separate Android/iOS codebases. During peak transit hours, database lock contention delayed dispatch updates by over 45 seconds, and drivers frequently lost job status updates on low-signal highway stretches.

What We Delivered

  • Partitioned Apache Kafka GPS & status ingestion pipeline with dead-letter recovery
  • Spring Boot 3 (Java 21) dispatch allocation and corridor geofencing microservices
  • Shared Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) offline SQLDelight sync engine for Android & iOS driver apps
  • Grafana / Prometheus operational latency and consumer-lag alerting

Measured Results & Basis

38% faster dispatch assignment

Measured by comparing p95 server-timestamp-to-driver-device-ack latency across 4 weeks pre-cutover vs. 60 days post-rollout.

82% shared mobile domain code

Calculated via Lines-of-Code ratio in the shared `:core` KMP module vs. platform-specific SwiftUI/Compose UI modules.

Service FAQs

Common technical & commercial questions

Key implementation, security, and pilot sprint answers for your engineering team.

Can your engineers embed directly into our existing GitHub/GitLab workflow and PR standards?↓

Yes. We work inside your repositories from day one, adhering to your branch protection, SonarQube/lint checks, and code review gates.

Do you rewrite monoliths from scratch or migrate incrementally?↓

Incremental strangler-fig extraction is our default. Extracting one high-value domain slice first reduces operational risk and proves throughput gains early.
