Leveraging UML and Serverless Architecture for Seamless Monolith-to-Cloud Migration: An Innovative POC-driven Approach
Keywords:
serverless architecture, monolithic migration, UML behavioral diagrams, API GatewayAbstract
Number of technical challenges will occur while transitioning from inflexible application to serverless architecture which required a structured and methodical approach, which ensures seamless migration. The purpose of the research is to introduce an innovative methodology that integrates Unified Modeling Language (UML) behavioral diagrams with Proof-of-Concept (POC) validation to systematically transform monolithic applications into cloud-native, serverless solutions.
