Um metaprocesso para migração de aplicações para microsserviços

Abstract

Microsservices are a type of service-oriented architecture, self-contained, that do not need others to be scaled or fixed, and responsible for only a single business capability in a way that its adoption benefits attributes such as availability, scalability and maintainability. The process of migrating applications to microsservices is not trivial, especially when it must be carried out in a way that maintains the original business rules and remains available for use by the end user throughout the migration process. Some proposals are presented in the literature focusing on (i) very specific contexts; and (ii) present some examples of the migration process, making comparisons between the original application and the one with microsservices; Thus, it is necessary to define a metaprocess to be followed for the elaboration of these processes, thus serving as a basis for a pattern of migration processes. Therefore, this work proposes a metaprocess of application migration processes for microsservices that defines a set of sufficiently generic activities that can be applied in specific migration processes, helping developers and software architects.
