Application Modernization and Rabbits
#1about 3 minutes
Using a rabbit cage analogy for modernization
An analogy of expanding a rabbit cage illustrates the benefits of moving from a monolith to a microservices architecture.
#2about 2 minutes
Exploring the benefits and strategies of modernization
Modernization improves agility, user experience, and costs, with strategies ranging from retiring applications to refactoring them into microservices.
#3about 4 minutes
A 10-year-old Java e-commerce modernization example
A demonstration of a 10-year-old Java EE e-commerce application and the eight-step journey to modernize it into a containerized, microservices-based system.

Using IBM tools to containerize a monolith
The IBM Cloud Transformation Advisor and WebSphere Application Migration Toolkit help automate the process of moving a legacy Java application into a container.
#5about 3 minutes
Decoupling the UI and migrating to Open Liberty
The application's front-end is separated from the back-end using REST APIs, and the runtime is migrated from WebSphere to the open-source Open Liberty.
#6about 6 minutes
Applying the Strangler Pattern for microservices
The Strangler Fig Pattern is used to incrementally replace parts of the monolith, starting with the catalog service identified by the Mono2Micro tool.
#7about 3 minutes
Implementing an event-driven architecture with Kafka
Apache Kafka is used for asynchronous communication between the new catalog microservice and the remaining monolith to avoid tight coupling and synchronous calls.
#8about 3 minutes
Improving performance with reactive programming and Quarkus
Adopting reactive programming with Quarkus and the OpenJ9 JVM significantly improves application response time and memory efficiency for new microservices.
#9about 5 minutes
Modernizing the user interface with micro frontends
The monolithic front-end is broken down into independent micro frontends using Vue.js and Single SPA to enable separate deployment and development cycles.
#10about 2 minutes
Accessing the project resources and future plans
The complete open-source project is available on GitHub, with future plans to add CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes and OpenShift deployments.
