Constant changes made by different developer profiles turn legacy applications into monolithic ones. Although it is a known issue, little has been done to mitigate it. This paper proposes Mind Overflow, a process to guide the decomposition of a monolithic application to a microservice architecture. With Mind Overflow, researchers and developers benefit from the use of consolidated design patterns, architectures, and technologies through a comprehensive decomposition workflow. The case study showed promising results, indicating that Mind Overflow is feasible to break down monolithic to a microservice-based architecture, including reducing cyclomatic complexity and producing highly cohesive microservices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
