Migrating to Microservices

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microservices

Abstract

Microservice is an architectural pattern which has risen based on the success of Amazon, Netflix, and other digital-native companies. Designing such architecture requires understanding your business goals and creating a balance between microservices benefits and associated drawbacks. This trade-off is essential in order to successfully migrate your business applications toward microservices. In this chapter we aim to drive you through this journey by presenting a roadmap and methodology which has been used successfully in several projects. We guide you through the typical microservice migration project by using migration patterns for managing service decomposition and data isolation and replication. Those patterns may be used iteratively and in any order, therefore we will define a reference architecture to sequence the building of your microservice architecture. Eventually we conclude with a use case from the real world.
