Building Systems That Actually Work

We started MaxPulse in 2019 because we were tired of watching companies struggle with bloated, fragile software. The kind that breaks when you need it most. Microservices architecture isn't just our specialty—it's how we think about solving real problems for businesses that can't afford downtime.

How We Got Here

Back in 2018, our founders were working at a mid-sized tech company in Taipei that kept running into the same wall. Every time they tried to scale, everything slowed down. Deployments took hours. One bug could bring down the entire platform.

So they left. Started fresh. Built something different. MaxPulse became the company they wished they'd had access to—a team that understands how to break complex systems into manageable pieces without losing sight of the bigger picture.

Today, we're a team of seventeen people spread across Taichung and Taipei. We've helped over thirty businesses transition from monolithic architectures to distributed systems that can scale without the growing pains.

People Who Make It Happen

Lead Systems Architect

Toivo spent eight years at telecom companies before joining us. He's the person who figures out how to split your database without breaking everything. Also makes excellent coffee, which matters more than you'd think during deployment weekends.

Saoirse has this weird talent for making different systems talk to each other. She joined MaxPulse in 2021 after working with banking APIs for five years. Ask her about message queues and watch her light up.

Our Approach

How We Work

We don't do cookie-cutter solutions. Every project starts with understanding what you're actually trying to build and why. Sometimes microservices aren't even the answer—and we'll tell you that upfront.

What We Believe

Technology should solve problems, not create new ones. That sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how often it gets forgotten when consultants start talking about "digital transformation" and "synergy."

We focus on building systems that your team can actually maintain. Because what's the point of perfect architecture if nobody understands how it works six months later?

Small Steps Work

We migrate in phases. You don't shut down your business to rebuild everything. We extract one service at a time, test it thoroughly, then move to the next piece.

Documentation Matters

Every decision gets documented. Not in some massive PDF nobody reads, but in living documentation that evolves with your system. Future developers will thank you.

Monitoring Is Not Optional

Distributed systems fail in interesting ways. We build observability into everything from day one so you know what's happening before your customers start complaining.

Honest Conversations

If we don't think microservices fit your use case, we'll say so. Sometimes a well-structured monolith is perfectly fine. Our job is to help you make informed decisions, not sell you services you don't need.
