Abstract:Financial organizations face growing pressures to modernize their IT landscapes due to regulations, FinTech, and internal efficiency goals, yet many remain constrained by legacy systems. These systems, which often adopt a monolithic architecture, can be migrated toward a more flexible microservices architecture that can potentially provide more maintainability and scalability. This thesis presents a practical roadmap to guide financial organizations in migrating their existing systems to microservices using low-code. By leveraging low-code, an increasingly popular approach to software development that shares technical resemblance with microservices, organizations can accelerate their migration process. Within the migration process, low-code can be used as a prototyping tool and a tool to develop microservices. However, using low-code for these purposes also brings risks, which are highlighted in this thesis. Financial organizations should always consider whether the business case for using low-code in their organization and migration process is justifiable.
