Using Microservices for Digital Decoupling Architecture

Digital adoption over the cloud by an enterprise can entail digital migration (which comprises re-hosting, re-configuration or re-platforming applications) or digital transformation (which is either refactoring or re-architecting native cloud solutions, or replacing native cloud components). But there is another way, called digital decoupling architecture, that organisations can also use for digitalisation.

Features of digital decoupling architecture

Decoupling data and application architecture: A strategy is adopted to decouple data architecture into reference data and transactional data. Reference databases remain on premises in legacy IT systems, and applications with transactional data are moved to the cloud.

DevTest adoption in the cloud: On an average, development and test (DevTest) environment usage is 40%-60% every year. Moving these environments to the cloud optimises DevTest infrastructure and monitoring costs, because you pay for only what you use.

Data lake adoption: Data lakes in the cloud are used for reconciliation, regulatory reports, and batch job processing (e.g., using AWS Glue Job).

Agile DevOps: This helps to automate the toolchain process.

These features of digital decoupling enable easier and quicker digital adoption as compared to costly solutions used in the digital transformation path.

Anatomy of microservices architecture

Microservices is a distinctive method of developing software systems that is extremely popular nowadays. Due to its scalability, this method is ideal for the web, mobile, and Internet of Things—or when you’re not sure what kind of devices you’ll need to support in an increasingly cloud-based future.
