Abstract
In cloud computing, the microservices has become the mostly used architectural style. However, there is still an ongoing debate about how big a microservice should be. In this case study, a monolith application is measured using Common Software Measurement International Consortium (COSMIC) Function Points. The same application is divided into pieces by following the Domain Driven Design (DDD) principles. The resulting cloud friendly microservices are measured again using COSMIC Function Points and the obtained results are compared.
