Custom Application Development on Microsoft Azure
Evocate builds custom business applications using modern architectures on the Microsoft Azure platform. When off the shelf products like Dynamics 365 or SharePoint do not fit a specific business requirement, we design and develop bespoke solutions using .NET, Azure App Service, Azure Functions, Azure SQL, and Azure Kubernetes Service.
Our development work follows microservices principles where they make sense, breaking applications into independent, deployable components that can be updated and scaled separately. This approach works well for organisations with complex business logic, multiple integration points, or the need to scale individual parts of their system independently.
We also help organisations modernise existing monolithic applications. If you are running a legacy .NET application on a single server that is difficult to update and expensive to maintain, we can rearchitect it into a more manageable structure on Azure. The goal is not to rewrite everything from scratch but to incrementally decompose the application into services that are easier to maintain, test, and deploy.
Evocate sets up proper DevOps pipelines for everything we build: source control, automated testing, CI/CD deployment, and infrastructure as code using Azure Resource Manager or Terraform. This means your team can confidently make changes without worrying about breaking production.

What Are Microservices and Why Do They Matter?
Microservices architecture breaks applications into small, independently deployable services that communicate through APIs. Each service owns its own data, runs its own process, and can be updated without redeploying the entire application. On Azure, microservices run on Azure Kubernetes Service, App Service, Azure Functions, and container instances with full DevOps automation.
Independent deployment
Update, scale, or fix one service without touching the rest of the application. Releases happen faster with less risk.
Technology flexibility
Each service can use the language, framework, and data store best suited to its job rather than forcing a single technology stack across the entire system.
Fault isolation
When one service fails, the rest of the application continues operating. Circuit breakers and retry logic prevent cascading failures.
Scalability per workload
Scale individual services based on their specific load rather than scaling the entire monolithic application for one bottleneck.
Microservices Capabilities Evocate Delivers
Practical delivery areas with the architecture, governance, and adoption detail needed for production Microsoft environments.
1
Architecture Design
Evocate designs microservices architectures that decompose your business domain into well bounded services with clear API contracts, data ownership, and communication patterns. We avoid over decomposition that creates distributed monolith problems.
- Domain driven design and bounded context identification
- API contract design using OpenAPI specifications
- Event driven architecture with Azure Service Bus or Event Grid
- Data ownership patterns (database per service, CQRS, event sourcing)
- Service mesh and API gateway selection
2
Application Development
Evocate builds microservices using .NET, Node.js, and Python on Azure. We implement APIs, background workers, event processors, and integration services with automated testing and deployment pipelines from day one.
- RESTful API development with .NET and ASP.NET Core
- Background processing with Azure Functions and Worker Services
- Event consumers using Azure Service Bus and Event Grid
- Container packaging with Docker
- Automated testing including unit, integration, and contract tests
3
Container Orchestration
Evocate deploys and manages containerised microservices on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). We configure clusters, networking, secrets management, and observability so your services run reliably at scale.
- AKS cluster design and provisioning
- Helm chart development for deployment management
- Ingress controllers and network policy configuration
- Horizontal pod autoscaling and resource quotas
- Secrets management with Azure Key Vault integration
4
DevOps and CI/CD
Evocate builds Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions pipelines that automate the build, test, and deployment lifecycle for every microservice. Infrastructure is defined as code using Terraform or Bicep for repeatable, auditable environments.
- CI/CD pipeline design for independent service deployment
- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Bicep
- Container registry management and image scanning
- Feature flags and progressive deployment strategies
- Environment management (dev, test, staging, production)
5
Observability and Managed Services
Evocate configures monitoring, logging, and tracing across distributed microservices and provides ongoing managed services to keep your platform healthy as it evolves.
- Distributed tracing with Application Insights
- Centralised logging with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics
- Health checks, alerting, and incident response procedures
- Performance profiling and optimisation
- Monthly architecture reviews and technical debt management
Business Benefits and ROI
Outcomes designed around measurable business value, stronger governance, and lower operational friction.
Faster release cycles
Independent deployment means teams ship features without coordinating monolithic releases or waiting for other teams to finish.
Reduced blast radius of failures
Service isolation prevents one failing component from taking down the entire application.
Scale where needed
Scale high demand services independently rather than paying to scale the entire application for one bottleneck.
Team autonomy
Small teams own individual services end to end, making decisions faster and reducing cross team dependencies.
Easier system evolution
Replace or rewrite individual services without touching the rest of the system as requirements change over time.
