[Epic] COBOL AS400 to Java Microservices Migration #1
Description
Overview
Migrate existing COBOL AS400 holiday and logging applications to a Java-based, microservices-oriented architecture with containerization and cross-application integration capabilities.
Objectives
- Primary Goal: Convert current COBOL AS400 applications to Java architecture leveraging microservices for improved modularity and scalability
- Containerization: Design as containerized microservices to enable service calls across the broader application portfolio
- Deployment: Simplify deployment and management through container orchestration
Current State
- Existing COBOL AS400 applications for holiday calculations and logging
- Documentation gaps identified in current system
Required Work
Phase 1: Documentation
- Create new system architecture design documentation
- Update existing COBOL documentation to reflect current state of the system
Phase 2: Requirements & Planning
- Define product requirements
- Create technical specifications
- Define epics and user stories for Java microservices conversion
Phase 3: Implementation
- Develop Java microservices architecture
- Containerize services
- Implement cross-application integration
- Testing and validation
