The benefits of the microservices model come at the expense of increased operational complexity, the need for service discovery, and messaging and API call volumes. Availability and performance issues also can be created if auto scaling, load balancing and other automation tools aren’t used effectively. We understand the essentials of Microservices and Containerization and can help you design to avoid the common pitfalls. We have enjoyed real-world success using Docker in production deployments.

Some of our key expertise and strategies include:

• Recommendation for containerization based on understanding the feasibility and studying the stateless\stateful-ness of the application.
• Design containerized apps to be platform agnostic.
• Aim to promote a single build-up through environments instead of generating a build per environment.
• Design to build once and deployed many times in many places.
• Balance the risks with the potential strategic advantages of leveraging containers.
• Expertise to estimate how much work it will take to refactor the applications so that they can be a set of containers as well as scale as a cluster of containers.
• Test to the limit for: scalability, Stability, Data, Management and security.
