Monolith to Microservices for HR Platform

Enterprise HR Tech Company

The Challenge

What we were up against

A 12-year-old Java monolith serving 50,000 daily users was reaching breaking point — weekly deployments, 8-second page loads, and a growing list of features the team was afraid to build.

The Solution

How we solved it

Incremental decomposition using the strangler fig pattern. Extracted twelve bounded contexts into independent microservices while the legacy system continued serving production traffic.
