Monolith to Microservices: A Guide to Seamless Transitions
summary
Claims a concrete migration path: a working token management service extracted from a monolith, validated by dual writes and gradual traffic shift, using CDC pattern and message queues to keep databases consistent. Shows tools and ops used: Kubernetes, Argo CD, JPC protocol, Istio, Zipkin, transactional outbox, and multi‑layer caches. Reports hard constraints — authentication at 100 thousand RPS with latency budget of microseconds — and describes performance tests and rollout strategy that actually reduce coupling.
