Descriptiontext

2scale GmbH is a Düsseldorf-based IT consulting and custom software development firm founded in 2000, organized as a privately held GmbH under German law and managed by H.-Georg von Zezschwitz and Dirk Vleugels. The company delivers agile software development across Java, Go, C/C++, JavaScript/ES2019, Python and Perl using Scrum, waterfall or V-Model processes; cloud infrastructure services built on Kubernetes (on standard hardware for data-private deployments) and AWS; DevOps managed operations including 3rd-level support, CI/CD, monitoring and 24/7 on-call; and consulting with a specialty in "firefighting" projects with missed deadlines or legacy system issues.

The underlying technology is packaged as the proprietary "2scale Standardlayer" — a curated stack spanning Vue.js/Vaadin frontends, Java/Spring Boot/Go backends with Camunda BPM, Hazelcast distributed caching and Resilience4j/Hystrix fault tolerance, and infrastructure on PostgreSQL/MySQL/Oracle/MongoDB with Apache Kafka, ActiveMQ and Apache Camel messaging, plus GitLab CI/CD, Selenium testing and Grafana monitoring. The firm monetizes primarily through project-based and managed-services engagements, with a stated focus on DAX-30 corporations and larger German Mittelstand customers, and operates with minimal formal marketing, relying on direct client engagement, referrals and a technical careers page for demand generation across the DACH region.
