Java engineering services for business-critical systems
Build a data-intensive platform, modernize or speed up the one you run, add AI to it, keep it running, or add senior engineers to your team. Every service has a stated price model and duration, and starts with a thirty-minute scoping call with an architect.

Price model and duration, service by service
Every number is given in writing after the scoping call: a ballpark range with stated assumptions, a validity period and the expected duration.
| Offer | Price model | Duration | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data-intensive platform development | Time and materials with a ballpark range | Based on scope | Custom Java platforms for high-volume data processing, real-time search, pricing and analytics. |
| Application Modernization Sprint | Time and materials with a ballpark range | 6 to 12 weeks | A supported Java application baseline, with tested changes and a plan for the next phase |
| Performance Rescue | Time and materials with a ballpark range, against agreed SLO targets | 4 to 8 weeks | Measured latency and throughput improvements, with profiling evidence and validation against agreed SLOs |
| AI Integration for Java Systems | Time and materials pilot with a ballpark range; optional retainer | 4-week scoped pilot, then optional retainer | A scoped AI capability integrated with your Java application, with evaluation, access controls and a rollout decision |
| Managed Java Application Support | Monthly retainer with SLAs | Ongoing, quarterly review | Patching, dependency upgrades and a small-change budget for systems that must keep running |
| Java Team Extension | Monthly team fee | Ongoing, long-term | Senior Java engineers who join your team for the long term and bring our experience with them |
| Technical Due Diligence | Fixed fee by codebase size | 2 to 3 weeks | A written assessment of architecture, security, scalability, team and AI readiness for an investment decision |
They're very skilled technically and are also able to see the bigger picture. Stratoflow can actually think about solutions, not just the technical task at hand, which they've been assigned.
Before we start
How do you choose the price model?
It follows the kind of work. Projects are time and materials against a written ballpark range; managed support is a monthly retainer with SLAs; team extension is a monthly fee for the named engineers; technical due diligence is a fixed fee. AI integration starts with a time and materials pilot, followed by an optional retainer.
When will we get a number?
Within a week of the scoping call you receive a written ballpark: a range with stated assumptions, a validity period, the price model and the expected duration.
What happens if the scope changes?
The proposal sets the agreed scope, assumptions and acceptance criteria. We assess requested changes and new dependencies with you, then agree any adjustment to price or schedule before adding the work.
Which service should we start with?
If you are not sure, choose “Not sure yet” in the contact form. The scoping call is there to work it out, and we will say so if none of our services fits.
Do you work with our existing team?
Yes. Engagements run alongside your engineers with daily contact. With Team Extension, our engineers work inside your team under your technical direction.
