Delivery focus

Hands-on workshops for teams that want to build and ship robust backend services, not just read about them.

  • Production Java and Spring Boot: building backend microservices from scratch, from domain modelling to deployment, with patterns proven in fintech and enterprise systems.
  • Reactive systems and performance: WebFlux/Reactive endpoints and optimising retrieval of large datasets for high-traffic, low-latency services.
  • APIs, integration and CI/CD: REST design, third-party and bank API integration (PSD2), Docker and Jenkins pipelines, with testing via JUnit and Mockito.
