Overview
What this challenge is about.
Analyze the monolith using NDepend or similar (provided). Identify the top 4-6 candidate service boundaries based on coupling + business-capability seams (likely: Quotation, Policy, Commission, Reporting, Document Generation). Score each candidate on extraction difficulty + business value. Pick the highest-value, lowest-risk first service and prototype its extraction: strangler-fig pattern, parallel writes, shadow reads, then cutover. Deliver a 15-page decomposition strategy, the prototype service + extraction migration scripts, and a phased 18-month roadmap.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Decompose a 12-year-old CRM monolith into 4-6 bounded services on an 18-month plan, prototyping the first extraction with a strangler-fig pattern.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Identify service boundaries using both coupling data and business-capability analysis
- Apply the strangler-fig pattern to a real monolith with parallel writes + shadow reads
- Sequence service extractions by risk-adjusted value, not engineering preference
- Communicate a multi-year decomposition program to engineering leadership
