Migrating a stateful monolith to the cloud
WHAT IT TESTS: pragmatic migration planning. OUTLINE: assess and inventory, pick a migration pattern like rehost or replatform, handle data migration and cutover, mitigate downtime and data-loss risk.
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you sequence a risky migration sensibly. ANSWER OUTLINE: start with discovery and dependency mapping; choose among the migration patterns such as rehost, replatform, or refactor based on time and value; plan the stateful data migration with replication and a cutover strategy; mitigate risks of downtime, data loss, performance regression, and rollback. Often lift-and-shift first, modernize later. RED FLAG: proposing an immediate big-bang rewrite into microservices instead of phased de-risking.
