Impact

Services Affected

  • QAB quoting web services
  • [List additional services and dependencies]

Technical Considerations

  • Legacy code modernization requirements
  • API compatibility with existing consumers
  • Integration points with other systems
  • Performance and response time requirements
  • Session management in serverless context

Data Considerations

  • Database access patterns
  • Quote data storage and retrieval
  • State management
  • Caching requirements

Implementation Plan

Phase 1: Assessment & Design

  • Document current web service functionality
  • Identify all consumers and integration points
  • Design serverless architecture for QabQuote
  • Define migration strategy for legacy code
  • Assess infrastructure requirements
  • Create proof of concept

Phase 2: Development

  • Set up QabQuote serverless infrastructure
  • Migrate/refactor quoting logic
  • Implement serverless endpoints
  • Configure API Gateway and routing
  • Set up authentication and authorization
  • Implement monitoring and logging
  • Create comprehensive test suite

Phase 3: Migration

  • Deploy to staging environment
  • Integration testing with consumers
  • Performance and load testing
  • User acceptance testing
  • Security review
  • Create rollback procedures

Phase 4: Cutover

  • Gradual traffic migration to new stack
  • Monitor service health and performance
  • Update consumer configurations
  • Decommission legacy web services
  • Archive legacy code and documentation
