Not knowing the fundamentals when replatforming brownfield applications
When it comes to translating a monolithic application into a microservices architecture, ignorance is not bliss. Not all microservice projects start as greenfield applications, where the architects and developers have a wide set of options to design the architecture and build the system without refactoring or replatforming the whole monolith. Monolithic architectures have been common in the industry, but there are still certain drawbacks if the same techniques are adopted when building a microservices architecture.
In the following sections, we will discuss the significance of the microservice architecture, the factors to consider, and the decoupling approach. Let's get started!
Why we should go for a microservice architecture
Let's look at some of the things we should consider when transforming monolithic applications into a microservice architecture.
