Your monolith is slowing you down. Deployments are risky, features take too long, and one bad change cascades everywhere. I decompose monolithic APIs into clean, independently deployable microservices in 2 weeks — with working code, not just a diagram.

Who This Is For

Engineering teams and technical founders dealing with:
A monolith that's become painful to deploy or scale
API endpoints that are slow, brittle, or impossible to test in isolation
A codebase where every change risks breaking something unrelated
Legacy REST APIs that need to evolve into something modern (GraphQL, event-driven, etc.)

What Makes This Different

I've done this in production at Ellucian — decomposing a platform into 6 TypeScript/Node.js microservices with event-driven communication, serving thousands of institutions. I know where service boundaries should go, how to handle data ownership between services, and how to migrate without downtime.

What Happens in 2 Weeks

Week 1: Audit + Architecture
Map your current API surface, data flows, and coupling points
Identify natural service boundaries based on domain logic (not just endpoint grouping)
Design the target architecture: service contracts, data ownership, communication patterns
Deliver: architecture decision record + migration plan
Week 2: Implementation + Deployment
Extract the highest-value service into a standalone, deployable unit
Set up inter-service communication (events, REST, or GraphQL federation)
Write tests, deployment scripts, and monitoring hooks
Deliver: working service, deployment guide, and roadmap for remaining extraction

What You Get

1 fully extracted, production-ready microservice
Architecture doc covering all remaining services and migration sequence
Test suite with contract tests between services
AWS deployment configuration (ECS or Lambda)
1-hour walkthrough + 2 weeks post-delivery support

Stack
