Developers frequently work with monolithic applications. However, the popularity of these monolithic applications has waned due to their lack of flexibility. Scaling a specific component requires scaling the entire application. Transitioning to a microservice architecture, with modular, independently scalable units addresses these challenges and is well-suited for cloud environments. This article focuses on moving a monolithic application, exemplified by a Java™-based e-commerce app called Pedal, to the cloud, offering guidance for this complex task.
