A monolithic permitting application in a city account bundles citizen intake, card payments, and inspector workflow in one process, so a payment-vendor outage freezes new applications citywide. Which modernization opportunity should architects identify first?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the cash register jams, the whole permit counter shouldn't close. Split intake, payments, and inspector workflow so one vendor hiccup doesn't take the city offline. A bigger box is still one box.
Full Explanation
Task 4.4 asks architects to identify decoupling opportunities in migrated applications. Separating citizen intake, payment processing, and workflow into independently deployable services with queues or events between them isolates failure domains and lets each scale on its own SLA. Enlarging or further concentrating the monolith preserves the single-process blast radius.
