Transitioning to Microservices for Enhanced Scalability and Performance
An insurance company faced the challenge of modernizing its core systems, which consisted of multiple monolithic legacy applications based on JEE, WebSphere, and EJB. To address this, the company embarked on a strategic re-platforming project for one of its core systems, starting with two Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) to boost team velocity and manageability.
The transformation involved replacing the monolithic architecture with a suite of microservices, achieving a clear separation between frontend and backend components. Additionally, the data structure was optimized by transitioning from BLOB data to smaller, Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) ready structures.
The products were successfully migrated to a new Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) platform, embracing a cloud-native approach that brought significant improvements in system flexibility and scalability.
Furthermore, the client’s teams received extensive training in cloud platform management, cloud-native application development, and application re-platforming, with a particular emphasis on improving data storage techniques.
This re-platforming initiative not only modernized the IT infrastructure but also significantly enhanced the client’s operational efficiency and application performance, positioning the company for future growth and innovation.
