Monolithic Web Application Infrastructure Upgrade Considerations

Abstract

A small Finnish software development company had problems with the infrastructure and development process of their ERP web application. The problems have caused delays in publishing new versions of the application, inefficient use of employee resources and wasted computing resources. The state of the processes and techniques used by the company were analysed and compared to the current best practices. Studies on the impact of the problems and usage of the best practices were explored.

A set of recommendations was created to rectify the situation. The set of recommendations includes processes and tools for the company to implement. It also includes a plan on how to manage the transformation work and suggested implementation path to take.
