The text outlines a guided approach for migrating a monolithic application, TicketMonster, to a microservices architecture using Cloud Foundry and Apigee Edge. The initial steps involve deploying the monolith on Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF), decoupling the user interface to run independently, and utilizing Apigee Edge to manage API requests and enable canary releases. This approach allows for a gradual transition by splitting the user interface from the business logic, enabling independent development and deployment. The process includes setting up a repository for the decoupled UI component, configuring Apache2 for proxy services, and using DockerHub for containerization. Additionally, Dynatrace is employed for full-stack monitoring, providing insights into service flows and application dependencies. By implementing an API proxy and using a random traffic routing mechanism, the new UI is tested alongside the legacy system, allowing for performance comparison and gradual adoption. The ongoing series aims to further refine the monolith by removing legacy code and deploying a more streamlined version while leveraging the enhanced monitoring capabilities of Dynatrace and Apigee Edge for performance analysis.
