Journey to the Cloud - a Rearchitecting Story
summary
Claim: 74% legacy modernization failure drives a different approach; a seeded nine‑person preproject and a 6‑month MVP prove out an event‑driven rearchitecture that migrates a 150‑person, 15‑team Java monolith on Oracle into AWS microservices with ECS Fargate and EKS, event‑driven replication via SQS/SNS, Splunk for centralized logs, ADFS SSO, consolidated billing and cloudtrail. Two partners go live in six months, continuous deployment and domain‑driven slicing scale to 12+ teams while planning to retire the core within about 18 months.
