Abstract:

The challenge to Retail Services Platform (RSP) which resides in a Java monolith software with over 400 SOAP operations running on WebLogic is demanding. As systems age, the development tools, hosting technology, and even system architecture that the product was built on, have become increasingly inextensible. The application attracts over 70 million transactions per day. Many cloud computing types were evaluated, such as PaaS (Platform as a Service), SaaS (Software as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). After thorough research, PCF PaaS (Pivotal Cloud Foundry) was chosen, as all ecosystems in T-Mobile are On-Prem. Micro apps were built which retained compatibility between existing SOAP web service WSDL contract and calling clients. The combination of Hystrix and cloud configuration server avoided network latency, enabled resilience patterns, auto recovery and changing of application properties on-demand. This method; “Digitalizing a Monolithic Application” (DMA) was later adopted by several other technical groups in T-Mobile and was an inspiration to other international companies
