Our Library of Off-the-shelf Microservices

When developing almost any system, developers often need to build a range of general-purpose features such as user management, logging and monitoring, blob and image handling, payment processing, and more.

These common functionalities can take up to 25-50% of the backend codebase. While integrating with SaaS services is a potential solution, it introduces dependencies beyond the development team's control and often leads to increased licensing costs.

Microservices architecture provides a solution by allowing systems to be composed of components implemented by different teams, using various technologies, and deployed at different times. Ideally, this is perfect for integrating off-the-shelf microservices with general-purpose features directly into the system, avoiding the limitations and constraints of SaaS solutions.

However, due to the lack of standards and the great variety of infrastructures — including databases, message brokers, and logging services — vendors struggle to create microservices that accommodate large groups of clients. This is why the market for off-the-shelf microservices remains underdeveloped despite the widespread adoption of microservices architecture.
