Monolith to Microservices Migration

Global E-commerce Platform

Challenge

Legacy monolithic application struggling with 10M+ daily users, experiencing frequent downtime and slow deployment cycles.

Solution

Decomposed monolith into 47 Go-based microservices with event-driven communication via Kafka, implementing circuit breakers and graceful degradation patterns.
