From monoliths to cloud-native platforms

The team with the most OpenShift certifications in Mexico. We modernize mission-critical applications toward containers and microservices — without stopping your operation.

Let's talk

What we solve

  • Fragile, costly-to-maintain legacy applications.
  • Slow, risky deployments.
  • Poorly performing APIs.
  • Dependence on obsolete technologies.

What we deliver

Containerization & orchestration

Migration to OpenShift and Kubernetes (GKE, Rancher) with cloud-native practices.

Microservices refactoring

Monolith decomposition under 12-factor principles, without stopping operations.

Performance testing

Load, stress, and endurance testing to find bottlenecks; tuning until SLAs are met.

CI/CD & automation

Continuous delivery pipelines and infrastructure automation with Ansible.

Systems integration

APIs and service buses that connect your critical applications.

Java stack upgrades

Modernization of Java/Spring Boot applications and JBoss middleware.

Live demo

Strangling the monolith

The strangler fig pattern in four interactive phases: watch a monolith split into services without stopping operations.

Animated diagram of the strangler fig pattern in four phases. Traffic from users and systems enters on the left. In phase 1 it goes straight to the six-module monolith; in phase 2 a facade intercepts every route; in phase 3 the orders, payments, and customers services receive part of the traffic while the monolith keeps operating; in phase 4 the six-service mesh handles all the traffic and the monolith is switched off. Each phase’s figures are shown as text next to the diagram. traffic users & systems facade route proxy monolith v1 — legacy java 0 % orders payments customers inventory reports notifications SWITCHED OFF svc-orders 21 % svc-payments 19 % svc-customers 17 % svc-inventory 16 % svc-reports 15 % svc-notifs 12 %

the four phases

  1. The monolith all the traffic, a single deployment

    The entire operation lives in a single application: six coupled modules built, tested, and deployed together. Every release demands a maintenance window, and any error takes the whole system down.

  2. The facade a proxy intercepts every route

    Before touching the code, a facade — a proxy — is placed in front of the monolith. Nothing changes for users: 100% of the traffic keeps flowing, but now every route can be redirected individually.

  3. The extraction first services in containers

    The first modules are extracted as containerized services under 12-factor principles. The facade reroutes their traffic to the new destination while the monolith keeps serving the rest: operations never stop, not even for a minute.

  4. The handover service mesh; the monolith goes dark

    The strangler fig has done its job: the service mesh handles all the traffic, every service deploys and scales independently, and the monolith — with no routes left — is switched off without anyone noticing.

An illustrative demo with a 100% synthetic system: modules, routes, and metrics are fictitious. In a real project the extraction runs in containers on OpenShift or Kubernetes, is prioritized by value and risk, and every traffic switch is validated with metrics before becoming permanent — operations never stop.
