Case study

After the first three successful sprints, more teams at Tailwind Gears are moved to a new platform. The first teams have been selected to own a product that is already independently testable and deployable. With the scrum master, product owner, and QA member, they are a little big for the two-pizza rule, but this will be addressed later. The teams to follow are way too big, and they work on big monolith applications with a lot of interdependencies. To perform the Inverse Conway Maneuver, all the teams come together and self-organize the next teams to be moved to the new platform. The constraints are as follows:

• No bigger than a two-pizza team
• Responsible for a business capability (a bounded context) that can be extracted using the StranglerFigApplication pattern and be tested and deployed autonomously

This helps to evolve the design of the applications. The new microservices are cloud-native and have their own cloud-native data store. They get integrated...
