Java development for systems that have to keep running for another decade
Centricone builds Spring Boot services and modernizes older Java estates — the applications that quietly run operations, where an outage is measured in business impact rather than in user complaints.
What we build
What we build with Java
Spring Boot services
Modular services with configuration, security, and observability handled by the framework rather than reinvented per team.
Legacy Java modernization
Old application servers, ageing Java versions, and monoliths carved into services one bounded context at a time, with nothing stopping while it happens.
JVM performance and memory work
Garbage collection tuning, heap analysis, and connection pool sizing — the JVM gives you real levers, and most estates have never had them adjusted.
When Java is the right call — and when it is not
We would rather talk you out of a stack than deliver the wrong one well.
Reach for it when
- Long-lived enterprise systems where stability and support horizon dominate
- High-throughput backends that benefit from JVM performance and true threading
- Organizations with existing Java expertise and operational tooling
Pick something else when
- Small services where the startup time and memory footprint are disproportionate
- Teams optimizing for speed of initial delivery above all else
- Serverless workloads where cold starts matter, unless you are prepared to work at it
What we normally run alongside it
No stack is one tool. These are the pieces that usually show up with Java on our projects.
- Spring Boot
- PostgreSQL
- Kafka
- Kubernetes
- Maven
