The Monolith Challenge

A tightly-coupled monolithic automation platform was struggling with scalability, deployment complexity, and team velocity. Small changes required full system deployments and extensive testing.

Deployments taking hours with high risk
Single failure affecting entire system
Difficult to scale individual components
Team bottlenecks and slow development
Technology stack locked into old versions
Poor resource utilization
Microservices Architecture

Cloud-Native Microservices

28+ Independent Services

Domain-driven design with bounded contexts for each business capability

Docker Swarm Orchestration

Container orchestration with auto-scaling and load balancing

Independent Deployments

Each service deployed independently with versioning and rollback

RabbitMQ Messaging

Asynchronous communication with message queues and event-driven architecture

Health Monitoring

Per-service health checks with automatic recovery and alerting

Zero-Downtime Deploys

Rolling updates with blue-green deployment strategy

Migration Strategy

Phased approach ensuring zero downtime

Phase 1

Domain Analysis

Identify bounded contexts and service boundaries

Phase 2

Extract Services

Gradually extract services using strangler fig pattern

Phase 3

Deploy & Test

Deploy each service with comprehensive testing

Phase 4

Optimize & Scale

Fine-tune performance and resource allocation
