Monolithic to Microservices Migration

Transform Your Monolithic Architecture Into a Modern Microservices Ecosystem

UniRidge helps you transform your monolithic architecture into a scalable, resilient microservices ecosystem that accelerates your business growth. We solve the challenges of system-wide failures, slow deployments, and scaling bottlenecks that hold your business back. Our proven migration strategy combines comprehensive analysis, gradual implementation, and continuous monitoring to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

Moving from monolith to microservices delivers transformative benefits for your organization. You’ll gain independent scalability for each service, eliminate system-wide crashes, deploy features faster to production, and optimize infrastructure costs while improving overall system reliability.

What we offer

Strategic Migration Planning

We assess your current monolithic architecture and create a customized roadmap for converting monolithic to microservices. Our approach prioritizes high-value, low-risk services first, ensuring early wins that build momentum for your transformation.

API Design and Implementation

We create robust APIs for communication between your microservices, selecting the right protocols (REST, gRPC, or messaging queues) for your specific needs. Our designs include proper versioning, security, and resilience patterns like circuit breakers and timeouts.

DevOps and Infrastructure Setup

We build the operational foundation your microservices need, including containerization, orchestration platforms, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, and distributed tracing. This infrastructure enables your team to manage and scale services effectively.

Architecture Modernization

Our team redesigns your application structure, establishing clear service boundaries based on business capabilities. We define each service area carefully, ensuring logical separation that maximizes the benefits of microservices while minimizing complexity.

We follow two proven approaches for monolithic to microservices migration, selected based on your specific circumstances. When your monolithic application has comprehensive test coverage, we pursue parallel development: writing new microservices alongside your existing monolith and validating against your test suite. This allows us to ensure functional parity before routing production traffic to the new services, with easy rollback if needed.

For applications lacking adequate test coverage—common with legacy systems—we implement our test-first approach: creating comprehensive test suites that capture current behavior before migration begins. These tests serve as a safety net during refactoring and extraction, ensuring we don’t introduce regressions. Both approaches share a common philosophy: gradual, incremental migration that minimizes disruption and proves success at each step before proceeding.

We can help you with

Comprehensive Architecture and Performance Analysis

We conduct an in-depth examination of your existing monolithic architecture, mapping components, dependencies, data flows, and integration points. Our team analyzes performance metrics, identifies bottlenecks, examines error patterns, and understands how different parts of your system interact under various load conditions. This analysis reveals hidden complexities, tight coupling, circular dependencies, and performance hotspots that will influence your monolithic to microservices migration strategy.

We use real production data whenever possible to ensure our recommendations are grounded in actual usage patterns rather than theoretical assumptions.

Business Requirements Mapping and Service Identification

We work closely with your business stakeholders to understand strategic objectives, growth plans, operational requirements, and regulatory constraints. This business-focused perspective ensures our technical decisions align with your organizational goals. During this phase, we determine which functionalities should remain in a streamlined monolithic core and which should be extracted into independent microservices.

Using domain-driven design principles, we establish logical service boundaries that reflect your business capabilities—whether customer management, order processing, inventory control, payment processing, or other areas specific to your business model. Not everything needs immediate extraction into microservices; we help you prioritize based on business value, technical complexity, team readiness, and risk tolerance.

Flexible Team Integration

Need flexibility and timezone alignment for your monolith to microservices migration? Our nearshore model gives you access to top engineering talent in Canada and Eastern Europe specialized in architectural transformation. You benefit from real-time collaboration with your dedicated team during migration, reduced time-to-market for new microservices, and cost-effective delivery without sacrificing quality or control. We also have a reliable partner network—if you need us to start your monolithic to microservices migration immediately, we can provide a dedicated team in under a week by leveraging our partners’ talent pool.

With years of experience in complex migrations, we know how to integrate seamlessly into your ongoing projects and existing workflows. You can choose your preferred management approach and tools while we handle all the administration—from team coordination to progress tracking. Our specialists bring deep expertise in breaking down monolithic architectures, designing service boundaries, implementing API communication patterns, and establishing the DevOps infrastructure needed for microservices success. We work alongside your internal teams, transferring knowledge throughout the process to ensure your organization can confidently operate and evolve your new architecture long after the migration is complete.

Long-term Commitment

We understand the importance of taking your time before making long-term decisions. Therefore, we provide a one-month try-out period, with a guaranteed option of a full and immediate contract termination within one business day. After a successful try-out period, our dedicated team is open for a long-term partnership and team extension.
