Application Refactoring to Cloud
A microservices architecture is a set of small services that exist in an ecosystem, operating autonomously to accomplish certain responsibilities. Each of these services is unique due to the following:
- Formulated throughout business boundaries
- Separately portable
- Can stand on an individual basis and has the least amount of pairing with any other service
- Remarkably manageable and demonstrable
CCT programs microservices for application refactoring to cloud in a wide range of languages, such as Java and Python. By default, these are decentralized in nature.
Why Opt for Microservices?
Before you move from monolithic applications to microservices, consider the in-depth overview of microservices, its features, and why there is a need to adopt them. Here is why you should take advantage of application refactoring to cloud.

Scalability
Microservices refer to an ecosystem of smaller and autonomous services. This way, we can help you to scale one or more services without affecting other services. Additionally, it is easy to scale a team and assists with rapid development.
Debugging
With small functions, it is convenient to debug or test your applications on varied levels. Moreover, our team reviews errors and can make debugging cost a lesser amount of resources. Therefore, increase the ability to create error-free deliverables.
Flexibility
Microservices make it easy to incorporate changes in a function without affecting other organization’s services. Besides, monolithic applications have tight coupling, which means any change can disrupt other functionalities.
Robustness
You can achieve robust monitoring with the microservices architecture. Meanwhile, as each service is developed in multiple APIs, platforms, and languages. Several teams are working on a single system, which makes it easy to monitor the progress, testing, and debugging.

Restrict the Monolith Interdependence
Once we decouple the microservices, we make sure that dependency on the remaining monolith is minimized. A major benefit of a microservices architecture is the self-sufficient and fast release cycle, which cannot be achieved in the monoliths. Remember, the actual motivation for leaving the monolith architecture is the slow speed of changes performed and large maintenance costs. With CCT’s assistance, you can change your development realities.
Disconnect the Capabilities
There is a limit to decoupling. At a certain point, there are conditions due to which additional decoupling is not viable anymore. This happens when the monolithic application is buggy and lacks proper definition. For these scenarios, you need to identify the system’s viscous capabilities, rebuild them with a well-planned domain, and then split them into individual services.
Split the Vertical Capabilities
A monolithic application consists of different strongly coupled layers that are needed to be discharged at the same time and have a hardcore dependency. We split the capabilities to discharge them separately from the monolithic application. This is done to separate capabilities vertically, disjoining the root capabilities and take all the front-end applications to the new APIs. The main concern in disjoining the services is having manifold applications, which depend on centrally shared data. Therefore, it is needed that the team utilizes strategies for data migration that meets their system.
Disconnect the Major Business Functions
One of the key processes in monolithic applications is to release a capability, involving extracting front-end components, data, logic and then redirect it to the next service. This is a large amount of work that your team will have to execute.
This is why the team is required to continuously determine the decoupling cost and the benefits emerging from the transition. If the goal is to speed the modifications in the current capabilities sealed in the monolithic application, CCT’s team can help separate code areas that have been evolving at a rapid rate.
Detach Capability Over Code
There are two methods for extracting a capability from the current architecture – by rewriting it or extracting it. Usually, the extraction is done by reusing the code. Often, development teams choose costly resources, both labor and cost, for code reuse. However, they neglect the significance of rewriting.
We prioritize rewording the capability as a new code rather than using the old code. Rewriting assists businesses in revising the business capabilities and adjusts them as per the prevailing needs.
Move to Micro with Application Refactoring to Cloud
We help your team identify the domain perimeters and train them to practice domain-oriented strategies. Maintaining consistency is key to determining the domain perimeters. Too big or too small of a microservice can disrupt a system, which can lead to unsuitable functioning.
We recommend creating boundaries by assessing how small microservices can align with your business. It is advised to split the monolithic applications into smaller services to a considerable extent, so your team can manage, operate, and handle them smoothly.
