Migrating to microservices at MACH-speed
The latest issue of DirectorPlus looks at a successful microservices migration story.
"There was no way to maintain that without a sledgehammer," says Gus Fune, Chief Technology Officer at DivBrands. Microservices can decouple software, easing maintenance and preventing outages, yet migrating to a microservices architecture from a legacy stack is challenging.
In this issue of DirectorPlus, Gus Fune shares the story behind reverse engineering a monolithic e-commerce platform following MACH principles, which stands for microservices, APIs, cloud-native, and headless. In the end, the transition actually saved them from losing revenue.
From sledgehammers to emojis, we see how they got there and what the benefits have been, and look at some tips other engineering leaders should consider when embarking on a microservices migration.
