The Journey to Microservice Adoption
summary
Describes migrating an image-processing monolith by offloading CPU‑intensive tasks to a pool of async worker containers, moving request/response logic to lightweight frontends and running workers on Kubernetes for scaling. Uses V8/node processes and container images, instruments queue consumers (multiple consumer types for different workloads), and shifts heavy CPU work to async workers to reduce frontend latency. Mentions container builds, deployment to production, and training needed for the team on containerization.
