Title: Legacy Modernisation Simplified: The Strangler Fig Pattern for Micro services Migration - DevConf.CZ 2024

Speaker(s): Shardul Inamdar, Deep Yogeshbhai Gandhi

There is no denying the fact that many development efforts have to be spent on existing applications - legacy that is - which typically exhibit a monolithic design based on traditional tech stacks. Thus, affected companies strive to move towards distributed architectures and modern technologies. This talk introduces you to the strangler fig pattern, which aids a smooth and step-wise migration of monolithic applications into separate services. The practical part shows how to apply this pattern to extract parts of a fictional monolith shedding light on its pros and cons in a tangible scenario. We will also have a look at the human and procedural aspects of employing this pattern and will tackle the technical challenges involved.

After this talk, you'll have a better understanding of and a concrete blueprint for extracting functionality from your monoliths, thereby gradually evolving into a (micro)service architecture and an en vogue tech stack.

that is not a monolith that is a modular monolith, moreover you assume there is already a facade between app and monolith, legacy application often has those 2 parts merged together
