Having experienced the drawbacks of monolithic applications, everyone looks forward to microservices for rescue. With many illustrative examples, insightful migration patterns, and a bevy of practical advice to transition your monolith enterprise into a microservice operation, this practical guide covers multiple scenarios and strategies for a successful migration, from initial planning all the way through application and database decomposition. As a companion to Sam Newman’s extremely popular Building Microservices, this new Monolith to Microservices book details a proven method for transitioning an existing monolithic system to a microservice architecture. Splitting a database apart is far from a simple endeavor, however. This leads us to the conclusion that when migrating toward a microservice architecture, we need to split our monolith’s database apart if we want to get the best out of the transition.

To help facilitate this decomposition, a viable software development approach is to apply the principles of domain-driven design (DDD). Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) makes it easy to build containerized microservices in the cloud. The ones who embark on this journey have aspirations such as increasing the scale of operation, accelerating the pace of change and escaping the high cost of change.
