Digital Decoupling - Journey to Open
summary
Accenture reports an inner‑source footprint of 3,000 projects as headcount grows from 50,000 to 440,000 and pushes contribution into foundations (Linux Foundation, CNCF, JS Foundation). The concrete solution: unlock legacy data with CDC into event streams (Kafka, Kinesis), build microservices around events, and incrementally strangle monoliths. The team builds a Reactive Interaction Gateway that consumes HTTP, WebSockets, Kafka and Kinesis, scales to large workloads, is donated to CNCF, and enables real‑time use cases like fraud detection and ML on streaming data.
