Modernizing Enterprise Java: A Concise Cloud Native Guide for Developers

While containers, microservices, and distributed systems dominate discussions in the tech world, the majority of applications in use today still run monolithic architectures that follow traditional development processes. This practical book helps developers examine these long established models and demonstrates how to bring monolithic applications successfully into the future.

Relying on their years of modernization experience, authors Markus Eisele and Natale Vinto walk you through the steps necessary to update your application. You’ll discover how to dismantle your monolithic application and move to an up-to-date software stack that works across clouds and on-premises installations.
