Refatoração de arquiteturas monolíticas em microserviços no contexto de desenvolvimento de software global

Abstract

In the past few years, the Global Software Development has been adopted by many companies, way as they can benefit from the advantages linked to the use of this practice, from the reduction of costs and time to market. However, this technique brings many challenges to the teams who use it. With this work, we aim to map the strategies of refactoring applications aligned with the architectural characteristics demanded bythe distributed software development environment. For this, we used the benefits de-riving from using a modern software architecture, the microservices architecture. We also analyze what kind of practices we could apply to evolve the current applications that use an old architecture, the monolithic architecture, to this architecture based on microservices. We conduct two systematic mappings, to analyze the state-of-art of soft-ware architecture on the Global Software Development environment and refactoring of monolithic to microservices applications, respectively. By the end, we execute an analysis to identify the practices of refactoring, and the benefits of using the microservices architecture can contribute to the success of a project on the GSD environment. Withthis, we were able to conclude that all the practices found during this work have positive impacts inside of the GSD environment, and we relate to the necessities of the GSD environment with the offered benefits by using the microservice architecture
