Modern companies need flexibility and scalability of IT systems. Monolithic architecture often limits these capabilities and complicates updates. The microservice approach addresses such issues, but a sudden shift can be risky. Therefore, Strangler Fig suggests a gradual “wrapping” of the monolith with new services that gradually replace outdated components without compromising system stability.

This talk highlights the role of a systems analyst responsible for collecting requirements and shaping architectural solutions. The analyst identifies key areas of the monolith, defines integration scenarios, and ensures the quality of new services, considering both technical and organisational factors.

We will explore the principles of Strangler Fig, typical issues and real cases, and also discuss how to “strangle” a monolith without risking stability, and how the role of an analyst is transformed in a distributed microservice environment.
