The growing demands for available data in today’s applications from small to complex systems have increased every day. It has forced large enterprises to look for such modern technologies that can provide them with more value, benefits, enhancement, and management of the systems. For illustration, it imposed them to use more manageable architectural design besides a powerful software development process. That is to meet the needs of continuous development, maintenance, and deployment of the current applications in order to achieve the main requirements of the end users like high quality, availability, scalability, performance, and security of the applications. However, those are the main reasons to adopt Microservices and DevOps in current systems and migrate the Monolithic-based Architecture that has faced problems with those requirements as it grows over the years into Microservices. This paper aims to propose a fundamental approach to transfer the existing Monolithic-based Applications to Microservices-based Applications to achieve high quality and the loose coupling between services for current Applications.
