Migration of monolithic systems to microservices: A systematic mapping study

Key Points

• The migration to microservices often improves system scalability and flexibility, enhancing performance overall.
• Evidence shows that adopting microservices can reduce deployment times by up to 40%, leading to faster product iterations.
• Systematic mapping analysis of existing literature identifies key challenges and strategies for a successful migration.
• This study highlights the need for more robust methodologies in evaluating migration pathways for software systems.
