Software modernization refactoring of local calls to network calls

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• identifying first and second application components based on analysis of a computing application, wherein the first and second application components represent different portions of the computing application;
• generating a graph model comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of bridges connecting at least a portion of the nodes to other ones of the nodes, wherein individual ones of the nodes correspond to the first and second application components, and a respective one of the nodes is identified as being independently deployable based at least in part on a number of bridges connected to the respective one of the nodes being below a predetermined threshold;
• identifying a local call from the first application component to a process of the second application component;
• creating an independently deployable subunit from the computing application, the independently deployable subunit comprising the second application component having a network endpoint;
• deploying the independently deployable subunit such that the process is accessible to the first application component via the network endpoint;
• and
• programmatically refactoring the local call into a network call from the first application component to the process of the second application component.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon that are executable by at least one computing device that, when executed, direct the at least one computing device to:

• identify first and second application components based on analysis of a computing application, wherein the first and second application components represent different portions of the computing application;
• generate a graph model comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of bridges connecting at least a portion of the nodes to other ones of the nodes, the nodes corresponding to application components of the computing application, wherein a respective one of the nodes is identified as being independently deployable based at least in part on a number of bridges connected to the respective one of the nodes being below a predetermined threshold;
• identify a local call from the first application component to a process of the second application component;
• create an independently deployable microservice from the computing application, the independently deployable microservice comprising the second application component having a network endpoint;
• deploy the independently deployable microservice such that the process is accessible to the first application component via the network endpoint;
• and
• programmatically refactor the local call into a network call from the first application component to the process of the second application component.
