Solutions for current challenges

Business is growing rapidly, so we decide to open our e-commerce website in 20 more cities; however, we are still facing challenges with the existing application and struggling to serve the existing user base properly. In this case, before we start the transition, we should make our monolithic application ready for its transition to microservices.

In the very first approach, the Shopping cart module will be segregated into smaller modules, then you'll be able to make these modules interact with each other as well as external or third-party software:

This proposed solution is not sufficient for our existing application, though developers would be able to pide the code and reuse it. However, the internal processing of the business logic will remain the same without any change in the way it would interact with the UI or the database. The new code will interact with the UI and the database layer with the database still remaining as the same old single database. With our database remaining unpided and as tightly coupled layers, the problems of having to update and deploy the whole code base will still remain. So this solution is not suitable for resolving our problem.
