Unification and migration of microservices to .NET 6 in the chemical industry

A client from the chemical industry was using an extensive microservices system that had been developed over many years with various technologies. The system included both modern components and outdated solutions, which significantly hindered its maintenance, modernization, and the introduction of new features. Many critical elements were based on .NET Framework and outdated versions of C++, limiting the ability to scale and optimize processes.

The environment in which the system operated was subject to strict security standards typical of the chemical sector. The client aimed for full automation of production and reporting processes, as well as an expansion of the system’s functionality, which was not achievable in its current form.

• .NET
• Updating microservices
• Unifying the system
• Implementing new security standards

The team’s task was to unify the technology stack of the microservices to meet the latest security standards and make them easier to maintain. A key challenge was to carry out the migration in a way that ensured the continuity of essential system functions and minimized disruptions for users.

After a thorough migration plan, the team successfully unified the microservices technologies, basing them on .NET 6 and C#. This unification significantly enhanced the system’s security, performance, and flexibility. Outdated components were replaced with modern solutions that enabled better process automation, improved compliance with the latest standards, and laid solid foundations for further software development.

Thanks to a carefully planned, phased migration process that took about 1.5 years, disruptions in application operations were minimized. The stability and security of the system were maintained at the highest level, allowing the client to fully leverage the new technological capabilities, both in terms of integration and scalability.
