Modernizing legacy monolithic applications that have grown over many years is a difficult task. Most of the time the original architecture has been lost and the software structure looks a lot like the dreaded big ball of mud.
Disentangling such a system requires sophisticated tool support. Whether you want to move to microservices or just restructure your software using the principles of domain-driven design, Sonargraph-Architect is the ideal tool for the job and can easily cut your effort in half.
Simulate before you touch the code
The unique architectural view of Sonargraph-Architect lets you completely simulate the restructuring of your software without touching the code. Once you are satisfied with the result, implement the changes in your favorite IDE.
