Modernizing monolithic legacy applications can be a massive, difficult, and time-consuming process wrought with risks, yet if organizations need those apps to continue fulfilling business-critical functions, transformation is critical. But how can architects be certain that changes to the legacy code only impact the targeted function?
Enter the Strangler Fig Pattern. This application modernization approach allows architects to replace each function with an independent microservice without having to rewrite the entire app all at once. The Strangler Fig Pattern offers at least seven advantages over direct migration and can prevent destructive coding anti-patterns.
