Methods for enabling a computer to migrate microservices and to perform microservice templating

A non-transitory computer-recordable storage medium storing program code which, when executed by a processor, performs computer implemented method of enabling migration of code in a service oriented architecture executed in a distributed computing environment, the program code comprising:

• program code for receiving, using a processor, a migration definition for generating migrations, the migration definition exposing a tangible set of matchers and filters configured to locate code constructs and codebase settings of the code to be migrated, wherein the code to be migrated is user defined;
• program code for scaffolding, using the processor, a deterministic script from the tangible set of matchers and filters to find instances of code to update or settings to update within the distributed environment;
• and
• program code for updating, using the processor, the instances of the code or updating the settings, whereby the code in the service oriented architecture is migrated.
