Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about monolith to microservices migration diagram

What is the strangler fig pattern for migration?

Gradually replace monolith functionality by routing new features to microservices while keeping existing features in the monolith. API gateway routes requests based on path/feature, allowing incremental migration without big-bang rewrite.

How do I handle database migration from monolith?

Start with shared database, then split schemas, finally separate databases per service. Use database views, event-driven sync, or dual writes during transition. Visualize data ownership boundaries.

What order should I extract microservices?

Extract low-risk, high-value services first (authentication, notifications). Leave core business logic for later when you have experience. Visualize service dependency graph to find independent services.

How do I maintain data consistency during migration?

Use saga patterns for distributed transactions, event sourcing for audit trails, and eventual consistency where appropriate. Show how services coordinate without distributed transactions.

What are common pitfalls in monolith migration?

Too many services too quickly, wrong service boundaries, distributed monolith (tightly coupled services), ignoring data migration complexity. Visualize anti-patterns to avoid.
