We offer architectural design and construction of microservice ecosystems.

The need for such service has evolved from the fact that big corporations have complex production process, excessive amount of policies, and multilayer organizational structures that need to be supported by flexible high-performance software solution.

Historically it became evident, that it is nearly impossible to build one perfect software system that would support all enterprise processes in all departments at the same time being intuitive, high-performant, easy to maintain, and flexible for any future changes.

An alternative to such "almighty" software solution is an ecosystem approach. An ecosystem consists from small functional blocks called "microservices" and a set of technical components responsible for communication between these functional blocks.

In order to make sure that ambitious promises and theoretical benefits of such ecosystems come into life it is necessary to define implementation standards for functional blocks and build software infrastructure that would provide microservice communication and scalability.

This is exactly what we do: we engineer and build corporate frameworks that ensure long-term performance and optimality of microservice ecosystems.

Technological benefits
From technical point of view an ecosystem approach is beneficial for large corporations with complex structure and processes for the following reasons:

1) Complex organizational processes can be quickly re-configured based on new business requirements. This is achieved by enforcing service development standards and introduction of workflow management components.
2) New software projects can be delivered in an efficient way due to reuse of existing services that can be used as building blocks. This is achieved due to introduction of a smart service catalogue.
3) No language lock-in: microservices developed in different programming languages can be seamlessly combined in an ecosystem
4) Each service can be automatically scaled and downsized depending on usage, thus allowing for a combination of high performance and efficient usage of computing resources
5) Zero-downtime deployment: an update of a service does not create any interference in usage

Business benefits
In the previous decades digitalization has been seen as a way of moving towards paperless office: basically saving data and making it accessible in a handy form. Microservice ecosystems allow for the next digitalization level in organizations, including the following points:

1) Supporting value-creating business processes by mirroring organizational rules in software solutions
2) Being able to quickly adopt to new market conditions by changing organizational rules on a software level. In a microservice ecosystem it can be achieved by re-configuring the workflow or by adding an additional micreservice.
3) Being able to pilot new technologies and digital business models with short development cycles.

Modern IT world offers dozens of platforms, technologies, libraries and components. Logicx team has researched and tested an extensive number of technologies in order to come up with a right choice of components and a recipe. Our tested solution architecture is a cornerstone for a successful implementation of a microservice ecosystems for enterprise customers.

Key benefits of Logicx
1) Tested solution architecture that provides a quick start for the new technical paradigm
2) No supplier lockin: your ecosystem can be enriched by microservices developed by any team using any programing languages fitting the purpose of a specific project
3) Sustainable business with 10+ years on the market
