Summary:Microservices are commonly known as an architecture for building scalable applications running in the cloud. However, they also promise high maintainability due to smaller code bases and strong component separation, making them an interesting option for software modernization. This article presents a migration process to decompose an existing application into microservices, and presents experiences from applying this process in an ongoing legacy modernization project.
