Strategies to "Kubernetify" Legacy Applications
summary
Containerize the JPetStore monolith and run it on a two‑worker Kubernetes cluster to get immediate scale and lower costs, using a MySQL container with replication back to on‑prem storage; add a Go microservice that handles MMS and mounts Kubernetes secrets, integrating Twilio and Watson visual recognition to identify pets (demo roundtrip ~20 seconds); then replace the SQL backend with a Node.js LoopBack API layer to decouple and scale data access — a practical path of lift and shift, innovate, and refactor.
