Hire Microservices Architects | Nearshore Software Development
Microservices is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled, independently deployable services. You need an architect who can navigate the complexities of distributed systems to help you build an application that is scalable, resilient, and enables your teams to ship features independently. Our vetting process, powered by Axiom Cortex™, finds engineers who are masters of distributed systems design. We test their ability to decompose a monolith, design service boundaries, and handle the challenges of inter-service communication, data consistency, and observability.
The Problem
A large, monolithic application can be a major drag on productivity. It's difficult to understand, slow to test, and risky to deploy, preventing your teams from moving quickly.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We vet for architects who are experts in decomposing monoliths and designing scalable microservice architectures. They must demonstrate the ability to identify the right service boundaries and to create a system of small, independent services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.
The Problem
Microservices introduce a new set of challenges, including service discovery, inter-service communication, data consistency, and distributed tracing. Without a clear strategy, you can end up with a system that is even more complex and brittle than your monolith.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our architects are proficient in the patterns and practices of distributed systems. They are vetted on their ability to design a resilient and observable microservices platform, using tools and patterns like service mesh, event-driven architecture, and distributed tracing to manage the complexity.
The Problem
Maintaining data consistency across multiple microservices is a hard problem. Traditional distributed transactions (two-phase commit) are often not a viable option, and a lack of a clear strategy can lead to inconsistent data and subtle, hard-to-find bugs.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our experts are masters of distributed data management patterns. We vet their ability to implement the Saga pattern to manage long-running transactions that span multiple services, ensuring eventual consistency and data integrity without sacrificing service autonomy.
The Problem
Choosing the wrong communication style (e.g., synchronous REST calls for everything) can lead to a tightly coupled 'distributed monolith' that is brittle and not resilient to failure.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We hire architects who understand the trade-offs between different communication patterns. They are vetted on their ability to choose the right tool for the job: synchronous communication (like REST or gRPC) for queries, and asynchronous, event-based communication for commands and events, creating a truly loosely-coupled system.
How We Measure Seniority: From L1 to L4 Certified Expert
We don't just match keywords; we measure cognitive ability. Our Axiom Cortex™ engine evaluates every candidate against a 44-point psychometric and technical framework to precisely map their seniority and predict their success on your team. This data-driven approach allows for transparent, value-based pricing.
