Top Three Strategies for Moving From a Monolith to Microservices

One of the primary problems facing enterprises is the problem of moving from monolith to microservices. The larger the enterprise, the bigger their monolithic applications become, and it gets harder to refactor them into a microservices architecture.

Everyone seems to agree on the benefits of microservices. We covered this topic at some length in this post. However, not many seem to agree on how to undertake the migration journey. Too often, the decision-making process turns into a chicken-and-egg problem. The bigger the monolith, the bigger the stakeholders' and management's footprint becomes. Too much management often leads to decision paralysis and, ultimately, the journey ends up as a mess.
