Microservices consulting
Thinking your legacy system could do better? Or starting fresh and not wanting to build a monolith, you’ll soon regret it? With Vention’s microservices consulting, you’ll get cloud-native architectures that scale fast, flex with your needs, and are built right the first time, so you can move forward with confidence in your tech foundation and enjoy true engineering peace of mind.
When microservices are game-changing
Microservices-based architecture is a strategic move with long-lasting impact, equally powerful for agile startups and established enterprises. The best thing is that you can go all-in from day one or adopt microservices gradually, replacing one component at a time without disrupting operations.
In business terms
In technical terms
Fine-grained scalability
In business terms
Instead of scaling the entire system, focus on the services that drive usage or revenue.
In technical terms
Each service can be independently scaled based on real-time load. This approach reduces overprovisioning and optimizes cloud spend.
Fast delivery
In business terms
Speed is a competitive advantage. What’s more, it’s a survival factor for many digital-first businesses. Microservices empower teams to deliver features, improvements, and fixes faster, helping you stay ahead of customer expectations and market demands.
In technical terms
With service-level independence, multiple teams can develop, test, and deploy in parallel, without waiting on or coordinating with other system parts. This reduces delivery friction, minimizes integration delays, and enables continuous deployment pipelines tailored to each service.
Resilience by design
In business terms
You’ll never face a situation when one bug compromises the entire system. Service-level independence helps prevent single points of failure.
In technical terms
Equipped with automated retries, health checks, and circuit breakers, microservices architecture improves fault tolerance and enables faster, more targeted incident response and recovery.
Embedded agility and innovation
In business terms
No need for massive, risky overhauls. Refactor or adopt new tech service by service.
In technical terms
Teams can use different tools and infrastructure per service.

Monolith modernization assessment
Relying on a legacy monolith and considering a shift to microservices? We’ll assess your current architecture, identify bottlenecks, and evaluate technical debt. We’ll also look at broader change implications to determine whether the migration is feasible, cost-effective, and positioned to deliver long-term value.
What you get:
- Software architecture review
- Risks and bottlenecks analysis
- Microservices fit-for-purpose analysis
- Modernization roadmap

Microservices in action: Proven wins from market leaders
We get it: at the end of the day, ROI is what matters most. While exact figures vary (and often stay under wraps), the performance gains reported by global brands tell a compelling story about the impact of a microservices approach.
Capital One migrated its contact center monolith to over 100 microservices, driving significant transformation across its organizational workflows:
- Release frequency skyrocketed, moving from bi-monthly deployments to multiple daily releases.
- Fifty teams operate in parallel with only moderate technical or communication overhead, enabling true team-level autonomy.
- Testing shifted from complex, multi-team efforts spanning several days to quick, isolated bug fixes often resolved within hours.
- The company embraced an "all-in on cloud" strategy, retiring two on-prem data centers in favor of a unified cloud-native infrastructure.
Netflix transitioned its video processing pipeline from a tightly coupled monolithic system (Reloaded) to a flexible, microservices-based architecture (Cosmos) to support evolving business and technical needs.
This shift enabled:
- Faster innovation
- Reduced deployment risk
- Improved system flexibility and resiliency.
Other well-known examples include Uber, Airbnb, Shopify, and Twitter. All of them transitioned from monolithic architectures to microservices.
That evolution is no coincidence. Many of these companies launched before microservices were widely known or used. Their monoliths served as a necessary starting point and a contrast that made the benefits of microservices clear.
Meanwhile, companies that start directly with microservices don’t have that comparison baseline. They’re simply building smarter from the start, with modular, scalable systems that deliver flexibility and speed from the get-go.
Hear from our expert
Does this mean the monolith is dead and microservices fix everything? Not at all.
Microservices are just one way to build a system; they have pros and cons. They let you split your app into smaller parts, scale each part on its own, and deploy changes faster. But they also add more complexity, can slow things down between services, and make it harder to keep data in sync. With clear service boundaries, good monitoring, and a reliable deployment process, microservices can help. Just make sure you pick them for your own business needs, not because they’re the latest buzz."
