Migrate your company to microservices: a step by step tutorial
summary
Nine years of microservices experience and six years of migrations inform a stepwise recipe: pick one pilot team, apply the strangler pattern, design one process in a day, capture baseline time‑to‑market and developer frustration numbers, and build a shell script plus template that generates a ready microservice in ~5 seconds with Gradle, testcontainers, parallel tests, CI/CD and zero‑downtime deploys. Provide libraries for a slow/fast/ordered outbox pattern, isolate infra (per‑team K8s and Kafka clusters), add observability dashboards, and introduce consumer‑driven contracts (Pact or Spring Cloud Contract); expect ~4x throughput if culture and team composition (max one junior per team) align.
