From monolith to microservices: a semi-automated approach for legacy to modern architecture transition using static analysis

Modern system architecture may increase the maintainability of the system and promote the sustainability of the system. Nowadays, more and more organizations are looking towards microservice due to its positive impact on the business which can be translated into delivering quality products to the ma...
