Modernise your monolith using strangler pattern

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Shows how a Storefront monolith migrates incrementally using the Strangler Fig pattern on AWS by extracting inventory, order and card features into separate microservices (implemented as Lambda functions) with their own databases (RDS for legacy, DynamoDB for orders), an anti-corruption layer for transparent routing, a synchronising agent via event queues to keep the old DB eventually consistent, and AWS Step Functions for orchestration. Outcome: removes database contention, delivers millisecond responses at scale (millions of users), and lets the monolith be safely decommissioned.
