Job Description

Business Overview:

We are a legacy media company. Our core web application is a large, monolithic application. As we grow, it is becoming increasingly difficult to add new features, scale, and maintain.

The Challenge:

The Challenge: Our monolithic application is a major bottleneck for our development velocity. It is slow to deploy, difficult to debug, and a single bug can bring down the entire system. We need to break it down into smaller, independent services to improve our agility and scalability.

Problems Caused:

The limitations of our monolithic architecture are preventing us from innovating and adapting to market changes. It leads to slow development cycles and a high risk of service outages, which negatively impacts our business.

Proposed Method:

We need a senior architect to lead the migration. The freelancer will be responsible for:

  • Analysis: Decomposing our monolith into a set of well-defined microservices.
  • Design: Analysis: Decomposing our monolith into a set of well-defined microservices.
    nsistency.
  • Migration Plan: Creating a step-by-step plan for the phased migration, including a robust testing and rollback strategy.

Required Experience: At least 8+ years of experience in software architecture. The freelancer must have a proven track record of successful migrations from monolithic to microservices architectures.
Required Expertise:

  • Deep expertise in microservices architecture and design patterns.
  • Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Knowledge of API design and inter-service communication protocols.
  • Proficiency in a programming language like Java, Python, or Node.js.

Sample Work Required:

Sample Work Required: Please provide documentation or a case study of a past monolithic-to-microservices migration you led, detailing the challenges, the architecture, and the outcome.

Freelancer Proposal:

The freelancer should submit a detailed technical proposal outlining their approach to the migration, including the proposed microservices architecture, a phased migration plan, and a risk assessment.
