Refactor in the cloud – Leveraging the Cloud for Digital Transformation
Refactor in the cloud
This process is also known as re-architecture, and it changes the way you build the application, such as building microservice-based architecture. It frequently requires employing cloud-native features such as building a serverless application. To continue to meet user demand, a business needs to add continuous new features, scale to a global user base, or improve performance that would otherwise be difficult in the application’s existing environment is what drives a refactoring approach. Refactor is the most advanced migration approach used to adopt applications and underlying infrastructure for the cloud entirely. Refactor approach will enable you to use all the cloud features and fully take advantage of them. This will allow you to use state-of-the-art technologies to create new services and reinvent your existing business workflows. There will be considerable work to accomplish this rewrite. In many cases, especially for established enterprises that new start-ups disrupt, they will soon find themselves relegated to a footnote in history if they don’t reinvent themselves. In this approach, you make wholesale changes and start from scratch to create your new applications and workflows. It is essential to have subject matter experts and business experts involved in the design process because you may want to make changes even to how you do business and spend all your current beliefs about how things should be done. Overall migration is a long process and requires application developers, business stakeholders, infrastructure engineers, security experts, etc., involvement. The collaboration between different teams in organizations is necessary because significant changes to apps and infrastructure are critical for success.However, refactor offers the best value to capture all AWS tools and services from infrastructure to continuous integration and deployment. Utilizing refactor results in faster roll-out for new features and improved release processes while strengthening disaster recovery. If your organization is looking to boost agility or improve business continuity by moving to a service-oriented micro-service architecture, this strategy may be worth pursuing despite its costs.
