Migrating a monolithic system to an ecosystem of microservices is an epic journey. The ones who embark on this journey have aspirations such as increasing the scale of operation, accelerating the pace of change and escaping the high cost of change.

They want to rapidly experiment with their business’s core capabilities and deliver value faster. They also want to escape the high cost associated with making changes to their existing monolithic systems.

In this write-up, I share a few techniques that can guide the delivery teams – developers, architects, technical managers – to make these decomposition decisions along the journey.

To clarify the techniques I
