Cloud Native Refactoring

Refactor to Microservices on GSA Schedule for Maximum ROI

Code Restructure to Microservices for Maximum ROI on GSA Schedule Microservices cloud native refactoring on Cloud technologies has revolutionized how organizations build applications. Especially in cases where new applications are being built, leveraging the benefits of the cloud can help to maximize ROI. This is not just through the upfront and on-going cost-reductions, but also indirectly through other benefits such as microservices performance and scalability which will be experienced in the long run. More and more Defense and Federal organizations are opting to migrate their applications to the cloud due to the difficulties in managing legacy hardware and large technical teams. Cloud services pricing can be much more economical due to the economies of scale enjoyed by enterprise public cloud providers. However, the process of refactoring becomes more complicated for… Continue readingRefactor to Microservices on GSA Schedule for Maximum ROI

Microservices Architecture

Benefits of the Microservices Architecture by Refactoring to AWS Kubernetes containers

Benefits of the Microservices Architecture The Microservices Architecture has become quite the buzzword, with many large organizations adopting some form of it to power their applications which cater to millions of users every day. Some of the biggest names like NetFlix, eBay, Amazon, and Spotify, have either migrated their legacy applications to Microservice-based applications or built them from scratch in a modular fashion. The Microservices Architecture refers to a development concept that moves applications from large monolithic designs to modular services often called refactoring. The point is to keep each module lightweight and scalable. It is also possible to convert or refactor monolithic applications into a Microservice-based architecture.
