… and we do that at scale. Our services are highly adaptive and built to sustain change.
apifocal is a professional services company with a core focus on open source technology. On the technical side, our consultants are developers or contributors to quite a few open source projects at the Apache Software Foundation. On the business side, we have expert strategists who have worked with multinational corporations, government organizations and small businesses.
We bring you in-depth knowledge of how the technologies you depend on actually work, which we deploy and fine tune in a variety of production environments.
We pride ourselves with implementing solutions that are maintainable and adaptable to change. Our focus is on automating manual processes to increase efficiency and deliver attractive, easy to use applications to your business.
Use our consultants to complement your team’s skills! They provide valuable insight into how to best develop, implement, and use technologies to not only deliver a great solution, but one that is easy to operate and maintain. We can even provide you with a whole team to deliver the solution you need, turn-key.
Our proactive support detects and resolves problems before you’re even aware of them. Rely on our timely support to minimize your operational risk. We provide multiple levels of support, customized to suit your company’s needs.
While we’re pretty darn good at coding, we excel in operations. Outsourcing your operations to us partially or completely will give you the peace of mind that your customers are always taken care of. We operate our own service in a few data centers on two continents. Do you want to see how? Call us!
Improve your technology team’s productivity by enrolling them in our training courses. We provide training material tailored to your needs and environment that covers the open source technologies we develop and support from installation to operation. We customize our classes to cover in more depth the aspects you care about. Security and reliability are always hot topics.
… and ours too! apifocal operates a number of services in the cloud for supply chain, healthcare, and financial applications. Because governance and security are important to us, we built the SilkMQ messaging fabric. SilkMQ can be deployed on-premise appliance, in the cloud or mixed. Our SilkMQ service already operates in multiple datacenters on two continents.
Operations at scale require constant monitoring and micro adjustments. Oversight needs to be timely and trusted. We strongly believe that code that is not in operating in production is not an asset, but a liability, similar to ship being at the docks instead of carrying goods across the oceans.
Every solution we build and manage for our clients is designed to be an investment, a profit enhancer, not a cost center.

Operating many services at scale requires a good messaging infrastructure. In addition to synchronous messaging based on the ubiquitous REST style, we saw a dire need for asynchronous messaging infrastructures.
We built SilkMQ as a highly available and secure, scalable messaging fabric. Based on Apache ActiveMQ, the leading open source JMS broker, SilkMQ adds a number of additional plugins and services for added security and additional features like multi-tenancy and cluster management.
SilkMQ is built to scale out, so that you could use the same messaging infrastructure for all your messaging applications without the risk of interference. The SilkMQ dashboards provide insight into your applications’ traffic.
Best of all, it works with your existing applications with zero changes. A simple change of your connection URL to point to SilkMQ… and voila!
Operations at scale require consistency, repeatability and trust in a world where failures are no longer rare events. We built the BlueHeeler Continuous Delivery service atop best of breed open source technologies like Docker and Rancher. The main goal was having a platform that can quickly adapt to change, recover and survive disasters affecting a significant percentage of system.
With a paranoid obsession with security BlueHeeler adapts the topology of our distributed service to address not only accidental hardware or network failures, but more importantly intentional cyber attacks unfortunately so common nowadays.
The BlueHeeler self healing algorithms provide a feedback loop that attempts to constantly keep service deployments in good health. If the predefined algorithms and policies are not sufficient, you can simply plug in your customized ones.
