Back-end technology

Java Development Services

Java runs the backends that cannot go down. We build Spring Boot services with modern Java, strong test coverage and the observability to operate them, and we modernize legacy Java estates.

  • Modern Java (21 LTS)
  • Spring Boot
  • Cloud-native
  • Legacy modernization

Why Java

Why teams choose Java

Proven at the largest scale

Decades of production use in banking, telecom and logistics under heavy load.

Strong typing and tooling

A compiler and IDE support that catch whole classes of bugs before runtime.

A vast, stable ecosystem

Spring, plus mature libraries for messaging, data and security.

Modern again

Records, pattern matching and virtual threads have closed the gap on developer experience.

Use cases

What we build with Java

Core transactional systems

Payments, ledgers and order management where correctness is non-negotiable.

High-throughput APIs

Services that handle large request volumes with predictable latency.

Event-driven backends

Kafka-based systems for data distribution and integration.

Java modernization

Moving monoliths to modular services, or old app servers to Spring Boot and containers.

How we work

How we build Java products

The same delivery discipline on every engagement, whatever the stack.

Discovery before code

A short kickoff to agree scope, architecture and the riskiest assumptions, so the first sprint moves in the right direction.

Trunk-based delivery

Small pull requests reviewed within hours, merged behind feature flags, and deployed continuously.

Tests that pay for themselves

Unit tests for logic, integration tests for the seams, and a thin layer of end-to-end tests on the paths that matter.

Observability from day one

Structured logs, traces and dashboards in place before launch, not after the first incident.

Documented and handed over

Architecture decision records, a running runbook, and a codebase your own team can own the day we leave.

Stack

The Java stack we reach for

Sensible defaults, not a fixed menu. We adapt to what your team already runs.

  • Java 21 (LTS)
  • Spring Boot
  • Spring Data
  • Hibernate
  • PostgreSQL
  • Apache Kafka
  • JUnit 5
  • Testcontainers
  • Gradle
  • Kubernetes

FAQ

Java FAQ

Which Java version do you use?

The current LTS, 21, for new services. We help teams on 8 or 11 plan an upgrade that unlocks virtual threads and better performance.

Spring Boot or something lighter like Quarkus?

Spring Boot by default for its ecosystem and hiring pool. Quarkus or Micronaut when fast startup and low memory, for example serverless, are the priority.

Can you break up our Java monolith?

Yes, using the strangler pattern. We carve out bounded contexts behind an API, move them one at a time, and keep the monolith running until it is empty.

How do you test Java services?

JUnit 5 for units, Testcontainers for real databases and queues in integration tests, and contract tests between services.
