MercariIn the Mercari API Team, our primary focus is on the development and management of the monolith service, with two main objectives: migration and maintenance. The first objective involves migrating all critical dependencies out of the monolith service. This requires a deep understanding of how the service has evolved over time, as well as close collaboration with relevant teams to ensure a smooth migration process. The second objective focuses on maintaining the monolith service to ensure stability and resilience. This involves adopting an SRE mindset to keep the service reliable through activities such as service operations, performing language and security updates, and working with relevant teams to enforce best practices in monolith service development.
