Migrating to a Microservices Architecture: A Practical Guide
In recent years, an increasing number of companies have been considering migrating from a monolithic architecture to a microservices architecture in order to increase system scalability and flexibility. However, this migration is a complex process that involves not only technical challenges but also organizational challenges. In this article, we will share a roadmap to success based on a case study of a large-scale project that DX Solutions actually handled.
Why Microservices?
The main reasons we decided to migrate were to "increase deployment frequency" and "localize failures." With a monolith, even a small change required a rebuild of the entire system, but with microservices, each team can release functions independently.
Challenges Faced
Data Consistency
Managing distributed transactions has become more complex. We solved this by adopting the Saga pattern.
Service Monitoring
Logs are distributed, making them difficult to track. We introduced OpenTelemetry and Grafana to achieve distributed tracing.
Detailed technology stacks and code examples are also available in our GitHub repository.

That's a great achievement! As security becomes increasingly important, obtaining ISO 27001 certification will increase reliability.
Congratulations. I would also like to know more about the specific initiatives in a future blog post.
