MONOLITHIC COMPUTER APPLICATION REFACTORING

Refactoring a monolithic computer application can include transforming textual input into context-aware tokens represented by machine-processable data structures, the textual input acquired from multiple sources of text associated with a computer application having a monolithic architecture for implementing one or more application processes. Based on co-occurrence frequencies among the context aware tokens, one or more groupings of context-aware tokens can be determined. An association between each grouping and a code construct can be determined. Invocation sequences based on time series analyses of computer-generated usage data generated in response to execution of the one or more application processes can be generated, each invocation sequence linking two or more code constructs based on a time series analysis linking groupings that correspond to the linked code constructs. A recommendation for refactoring the computer application into a plurality of microservices can be generated, each microservice corresponding to one or more invocation sequences.
