In this video, we discuss one way a business can approach decomposing a monolith using a series of clearly defined steps and robust monitoring.

Decomposing a monolith into a set of microservices while the system continues to operate is a difficult endeavor. It has been compared to trying to replace the wings of an airplane while it's still in flight. Many projects opt to try and replace the entire monolith all at once to make things easier. In reality, that often leads to excessively long projects that fail to deliver in the end. Often, a more iterative approach can lead to faster, and better results. The goal is to be able to show results as soon as possible.
