Frequently Asked Questions

Why hire Java developers from Serbia?

Serbian Java developers are among the strongest in Europe, with deep expertise in enterprise development and Spring Boot ecosystem. Java has been a core part of Serbian university curricula and enterprise projects for decades, resulting in a mature talent pool with strong fundamentals. At 40-60% lower costs than Western Europe, you get senior-level Java expertise in the CET timezone with excellent English communication and European work culture.

What Java frameworks and technologies do you use?

Our primary framework is Spring Boot 3 with Spring Cloud for microservices. We use Hibernate and Spring Data for database access, Kafka and RabbitMQ for messaging, and Redis for caching. For testing, we rely on JUnit 5, Mockito, and Testcontainers. We deploy with Docker and Kubernetes, and use Maven or Gradle for build management. We also work with GraalVM for native compilation and virtual threads for improved concurrency.

Can you modernize our legacy Java application?

Yes, legacy Java modernization is one of our specialties. We have experience migrating from Java 8 to modern Java, from monolithic architectures to microservices, and from traditional deployment to cloud-native. Our approach is incremental—we use the strangler fig pattern to gradually replace legacy components while keeping the system operational. We also modernize build tools, testing frameworks, and deployment pipelines.

Do you build microservices with Java?

Absolutely. We design and implement microservices architectures using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud, including service discovery with Eureka or Consul, API gateways with Spring Cloud Gateway, circuit breakers with Resilience4j, and distributed tracing with Micrometer and Zipkin. We handle the full complexity of distributed systems including saga patterns for transactions, event sourcing, and CQRS where appropriate.

How do you handle Java application performance?

We take a data-driven approach to performance. We use profiling tools like JProfiler and async-profiler to identify bottlenecks, optimize JVM settings including garbage collector selection and heap sizing, and implement application-level caching strategies. We set up monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, use distributed tracing for microservices, and implement load testing with JMeter or Gatling to validate performance under realistic conditions.

What engagement models do you offer for Java development?

We offer staff augmentation to embed senior Java developers in your team, dedicated teams for larger Java projects, and project-based development for defined scopes. For enterprise clients, we also offer managed services with SLA guarantees. All engagements include a trial period so you can evaluate technical expertise, communication, and cultural fit before making a long-term commitment.
