As the speed of technology continues to increase, an outdated monolithic architecture limits your organization’s ability to scale and run effectively. Modernizing your software by refactoring to microservices offers increased scalability, allowing your company to optimize the value it gets from the cloud. For many business leaders, modernization is now a priority. According to a […]
While we may have reached the peak of digital transformation efforts, the hardest challenges surely lie ahead. According to Gartner estimates, 91% of businesses are now engaged in some type of digital initiative, but the increasing adoption has also unveiled some significant shortcomings of extensive digital development. Large, monolithic software solutions can no longer offer […]
In today’s fast-evolving technological and marketplace environments, the software applications that companies depend on must be able to quickly adapt to the demands of an ever-changing competitive landscape. But as existing features are modified and new ones added, an app’s codebase inevitably becomes more complex, making it increasingly difficult to understand, maintain, and upgrade. How […]
Every software development project has three constraints—time, resources, and quality. Knowing how to balance them is at the core of delivering consistent success. A well-balanced project resembles an equilateral triangle where the same stability is available no matter which side forms the base. Over time, even the most balanced software loses stability. New features are […]

Across thousands of global organizations, monolithic applications often standalone, side by side, like their Stonehenge brethren — architectural masterpieces of the past evoking both awe and mystery. But unlike their prehistoric equivalents, monolithic applications are integral parts of today’s […]
This post was originally featured on TheNewStack, sponsored by vFunction. As digital natives and startups continue to leverage microservices, Kubernetes and cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, enterprises who are still maintaining and running business critical monolithic applications face a distinct disadvantage. Tightly-coupled, interdependent, complex Java EE or .NET applications were never […]
Com a estimative de que 80% dos sistemas de negócios do mundo ainda não estão prontos para a nuvem, os executivos começaram a exigir iniciativas para modernizar suas aplicações legadas para a nuvem. Essas aplicações legadas geralmente são grandes sistemas monolíticos com anos ou décadas de dívida técnica acumulada, tornando-as difíceis de mudar, caras e arriscadas […]
When it comes to migrating legacy Java applications to the cloud, for the most part, your choices may boil down to just two options: refactor it or discard it entirely. For that, it’s important to understand: what is refactoring in cloud migration? The ground reality is that many enterprises employ a host of Java applications […]
For many teams, application development has morphed into an assembly line process, with each person learning to optimize their own workflows to get their work done. However, during this process, there has been little exploration of the process as a whole, and rarely has any effort been put into understanding how these workflows can be […]
