Abstract
The motivation for this transition comes from the fact that constantly maintaining a monolithic architecture has resulted in difficulties in keeping up in pace with new development approaches such as DevOps, calling for deployment several times a day. In contrast, microservices offer a more flexible option, where individual services comply with the single responsibility principle (SRP), and they can therefore be scaled and deployed independently. We propose a methodology, starting from a source code application, that provides a new architecture for the application oriented to microservices and deployable on Cloud.
