Embarking on a transformative journey from monolithic to cloud-native architecture is a monumental shift, unlocking the potential of scalability, resiliency, and agility. In this pursuit of evolution, Fidelity Investments has encountered and triumphed over numerous challenges. Guided by industry best practices in clean architecture, dependency injection principles, and various design patterns, we navigated through the complexities inherent in such a significant paradigm shift. The pivotal success factor lay in meticulously planning our migration strategy, involving the systematic breakdown of monolithic stacks into smaller, service-specific components. Our achievement was grounded in well-defined migration strategies, iterative approaches, and a steadfast commitment to industry best practices, particularly clean architecture principles.

In this session, we aim to share insights into our organization’s cloud-first approach and strategic steps taken during the monolithic to cloud-native migration. By delving into key considerations, challenges overcome and role of clean architecture, this presentation will delve into the nuances that can elevate success of similar endeavors.
