Alternative Strategies

Explore various alternative migration strategies for transitioning monolithic systems to microservices. Understand approaches like improving system reliability, migrating based on application layers, and the copy/change method, along with their advantages and drawbacks. This lesson helps you evaluate and apply suitable strategies for effective microservice migration.

There are many more migration strategies. There is a presentation that gives a good overview of the different approaches to the migration to microservices. Let’s go over some of the most common approaches.

Goal: reliability #

As mentioned previously, there can be very divergent approaches for the migration to microservices. The strategy depends mainly on the objectives to be achieved.

When the main objective for switching to microservices is an increase in robustness, at first, reliability can be improved at the interfaces to external systems or databases with libraries like Hystrix and ...
