Advice basedon Deloitte’sexperience!Gather meaningfuland actionableinsights that willhelp you define andarticulate the impactsof your modernizationand cloud strategiesin alignment withbusiness goals.
GET STARTEDContainerize your appsWrapping an application in a container image is a good first steptoward modernization, but many applications are not optimizedfor containers. Load balancing, application state handling, andmonitoring are different in containerized applications. As a result,you might need to rewrite portions of your applications. Likewise,performance tuning and DevOps processes must be aligned tocontainers.YOU WRAPPED YOUR APP IN A CONTAINER IMAGE - NOW WHATAdapt your applications. You need accelerators to adapt yourapplication to a containerized environment.

GET STARTEDRefactorRefactoring is the process of replacing existing, hard to maintaincode with new, better code in a piecewise way. You “strangle” theold monolith by replacing each business function incrementally.MODERNIZE INTELLIGENTLYProductivity. Refactoring an application to microservices improvesdeveloper productivity and allows you to quickly release more code.Scalability. Refactoring to a more scalable architecture should bedone incrementally. It’s important to provide real business value ateach step in the refactoring process.Containerize. Repackage your monolith as a WebSphere Liberty orOpen Liberty container. Then add new containers to your solution asyou separate business functions into new microservices.Check out Deloitte’s application modernization offerings.https://www.deloitte.com/us/appmod20
When you replace a monolith piecewise, you gain efficiencyand business value at each step.
