Abstract
With ESB-focused monolithic middleware, enterprises are hitting limits of scale, agility, and resiliency. This article introduces a prescriptive modernization plan, ADOG (Assessment, Decomposition, Orchestration, Governance), to modernize enterprise middleware for microservices, containers, and DevOps at scale, while maintaining mission-critical continuity. During the Assessment phase, companies take stock of their integration assets, blow up monolithic obstacles, and map business capabilities to service boundaries. Decomposing leads to a coarse-grained service decomposition into domain-aligned, independently deployable microservices, facilitated by accelerators and a canonical data model, which helps prevent interface drift. There are multiple services in containers that need to be orchestrated and linked together through your cluster schedulers and service meshes to provide autoscaling, traffic shaping, fault isolation, and consistent observability. Governance hardcodes CI/CD, policy-as-code, security controls, SLO-based operations, and lifecycle stewardship to get a grip on that operational complexity that microservices bring in.
