Yes. Through Team Embed, senior Java engineers join your Slack, standups and repo from $8,500 per engineer per month, and can start in 1 to 3 weeks.

Can you modernize our legacy Java system?

Yes. We start with a code and architecture review, then move from a brittle monolith to modular services step by step, upgrading Java versions and frameworks without stopping your roadmap.

Which industries do you work in?

Mostly fintech, healthtech, eCommerce and SaaS, including HIPAA, PCI-DSS and GDPR regulated systems.

Which Java frameworks and technologies do you use?

Java 17 and 21, Spring Boot, Hibernate and Micronaut, with PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Kafka, packaged with Docker and Kubernetes and deployed on AWS, Azure or GCP.

How much does Java development cost?

Java engineers through Team Embed start at $8,500 per engineer per month. MVPs and modernization projects are quoted as a fixed price after scoping. If your app was built fast or with AI tools, the Production Readiness Audit is a fixed $4,900.

How long does it take to start?

Usually 1 to 3 weeks from the first call to an engineer working in your codebase.

Do you provide support after delivery?

Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance, upgrades and on-call support, usually with the same engineers who built the system.
