Not All Legacy Applications Fit for Cloud Migration
Not all legacy applications, especially monoliths, are suitable for cloud migration due to their complexity and outdated architecture.
Complex and Outdated Architecture of Monoliths
Monolithic applications are large and built with sedimented layers of features and redundant logic, making them difficult to scale, upgrade, or migrate.
High Hardware Requirements
They require expensive and complex hardware to meet their high compute, memory, storage, and networking demands.
Inefficient Scaling
Scaling monoliths typically involves deploying entire instances on additional servers, which is costly and inefficient.
Downtime During Upgrades and Migrations
Upgrades and migrations lead to inevitable downtime, requiring careful planning to minimize client impact.
Challenges with Third-Party Solutions
Third-party solutions to reduce downtime introduce additional complexities, such as synchronization challenges and potential licensing costs.
