Modernize Without
Breaking Production.

Move from one risky release train to modular, independently deployable services. We carve out bounded contexts, route traffic via strangler patterns, and ship with DevSecOps controls, so modernization is measurable, not mythical.

Beyond the Rewrite Fantasy.
Splitting That Survives Day 2.

Most modernization fails because teams cut code without fixing domain boundaries, data coupling, and release governance. We de-couple services with safe routing, data migration patterns, and delivery controls, so shipping gets easier over time.

The Splitting Failure Pattern

What most teams accidentally ship:

  • Services Still Tied to the Same DB

    “Microservices” that share tables and deploy together.

  • No Routing Strategy

    Traffic cutovers done in one shot with high risk.

  • Missing DevSecOps Gates

    No policy controls, no SBOM, no repeatable release safety.

The Coretus Splitting Standard

Safe, Step-by-Step Modernization:

  • Domain Boundaries + Contracts

    Bounded contexts, API contracts, and integration discipline.

  • Strangler Routing + Safe Cutovers

    Incremental traffic shifting with monitoring and rollback.

  • Governed DevSecOps Pipelines

    Policy gates, scans, SBOMs, and activity records for every release.

Smaller Changes. Safer Releases. Faster Teams.

Splitting FAQs

Frequently Asked
Modernization Specs.

Service Identity
Monolith Splitting

How do you avoid a distributed monolith?

We start with boundaries + contracts, then enforce schema independence and integration discipline.

Can we migrate without downtime?

Yes, strangler routing, canaries, feature flags, and rollback paths are designed before extraction.

How do you de-couple the database?

We use CDC/outbox, anti-corruption layers, and migration sequencing aligned with service boundaries.

Where does DevSecOps fit in?

Every release ships with policy gates, scanning, SBOMs, and activity records, built into the pipeline.

How do we know when cutovers are safe?

We establish monitoring baselines and SLOs so traffic shifts are measurable and reversible.

Splitting Feasibility?

We can deliver a rapid feasibility + boundary audit to identify the first 3 extraction candidates and cutover plan.
