Migrating your existing architecture from a monolith to microservices is a challenging task. Not only the technology landscape is different and overwhelming, but you also need a solid plan to bring the rest of the team along in the journey.

This talk shares our real-life journey and the lessons learned from migrating a monoliths open-source project to microservices while adding in CI/CD best practices. We looked at specific best practices from the Accelerate book and show how those became reality within our team.
The focus of this is:
- Best practices for refactoring monoliths into microservices
- Understanding how you can leverage tools such as Kubernetes, Helm, Jenkins X, and Zeebe to develop cloud-native applications
- Pitfalls you should avoid and how you can learn from our mistakes
