Microservices Architecture & DevelopmentMicroservices where they help, a clean monolith where they do not.
We design and build microservices with clear boundaries, APIs and event streams, deployed on Kubernetes with observability, and we tell you honestly when a modular monolith is better.

When should you use microservices?
Use microservices when separate parts of a system need to scale, deploy or evolve independently and you have teams to own them. For smaller teams, a well-structured modular monolith is often faster and cheaper. Stack18 defines service boundaries with domain-driven design, builds services with APIs and event streaming, and sets up deployment, tracing and monitoring so the system stays manageable.

Microservices Architecture & Development, end to end.
The features and building blocks of a Microservices Architecture & Development engagement. Each is delivered by the same team on the Agentic SDLC, with your approval at every critical step.
Domain and boundaries
Services shaped around business domains, not technical layers.
- Domain-driven design
- Bounded contexts
- Ownership map
API design
Contracts that let services evolve independently.
- REST and gRPC
- API versioning
- Contract tests
Event streaming
Asynchronous communication for resilience and scale.
- Kafka or cloud queues
- Event schemas
- Outbox pattern
Data per service
Each service owns its data, with consistency patterns.
- Database per service
- Sagas
- Read models
Platform and deployment
Containers, Kubernetes and CI/CD per service.
- Kubernetes
- Service mesh options
- GitOps
Observability
Logs, metrics and traces across every service.
- Distributed tracing
- Central logging
- SLO alerts
A typical engagement, step by step.
Senior people lead every phase. Specialised AI agents on the Agentic SDLC handle the repetitive work, and nothing ships without your approval.
Discover
We map today’s process, systems and data for domain and boundaries, API design and event streaming, talk to the people who run it and agree the baseline for deployment frequency and lead time for changes, so progress is measured from week one.
Design
We design the flows, roles, approvals and integrations for domain and boundaries and API design, and review a clickable prototype or technical design with the people who will use it before anything is built.
Build
We build in weekly demos, starting with domain and boundaries, then API design and event streaming. Each release is tested on your own data and passes a human approval gate before the next begins.
Launch
We migrate data, train your team and support go-live. After 30 days we review deployment frequency and lead time for changes against the baseline and agree what to extend next.
How much does Microservices Architecture & Development cost in India?
Most Microservices Architecture & Development projects start with a Discovery Sprint (1–4 weeks, fixed price), which fixes the scope, team and price before you commit. Architecture Design takes 2–4 weeks at a fixed price. Microservices Build takes 10–24 weeks at a fixed price per phase. Prices exclude GST. Cloud hosting and third-party usage, such as messaging, payment or AI model charges, are paid at cost.

Are microservices always better?
No. They add operational complexity. For many products, a modular monolith with clear boundaries is the better choice until scale or team size demands more.
Which languages do you use?
Java, Node.js, Python, Go and .NET, chosen per service and team skills.
Do you need Kubernetes?
Not always. Managed container services or serverless can be simpler for smaller systems.
Can you migrate our monolith gradually?
Yes, using the strangler pattern so the business keeps running while services are extracted.
Do you provide Microservices Architecture & Development across India?
Yes. Stack18 is headquartered in Jaipur, Rajasthan, and delivers Microservices Architecture & Development for businesses across India, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. Work runs remotely with weekly demos, and on-site workshops are arranged for key milestones.
