Benefits of Agent-Oriented Transitioning from Monolithic To Service-Based Architectures

The current surge in AI trends has catalyzed a strong inclination among organizations to transition towards AI-driven solutions. However, a significant challenge arises from the prevalent monolithic nature of existing applications, which often impedes scalability and limits the potential for enhancement through agent-based interventions. This paper aims to investigate strategies for transitioning from monolithic applications to microservices-based architectures and explore the utilization of agents for control within microservices environments. Subsequently, drawing from existing literature and our own insights, we endeavor to formulate a comprehensive strategy for transforming original monolithic applications into intelligently controlled microservices-based systems. We conclude with an IoT use case in order to illustrate the application of this strategy and highlight the advantages that can be achieved.
