Cloud computing platforms offer elastic scaling, managed infrastructure, and pay-per-use pricing, but moving existing monolithic backends to them remains a difficult software engineering task. In practice, the migration requires coordinated changes to program structure, source code, infrastructure configuration, and cloud-specific design decisions, and these changes are still largely carried out by hand. In this paper, we present Mono2Sls, an automated pipeline that converts monolithic web backends into deployable AWS SAM applications. The pipeline combines lightweight static analysis of entry points, call graphs, and asynchronous behavior with four sequential tool-using LLM agents: Architect, Code Developer, SAM Engineer, and Consistency Validator. These agents communicate through explicit intermediate artifacts and consult a curated SAM knowledge base. Evaluated on six benchmark applications totaling more than 10K lines of code and 76 business endpoints, Mono2Sls achieves 100% deployment success without manual fixes. It also reaches 66.1% end-to-end correctness and 98.7% API-coverage F1, whereas the commercial baselines achieve 53.7--61.2% and 88.4%, respectively. The migrated systems show more consistent use of AWS-native authentication and asynchronous patterns, and an ablation study indicates that static-analysis-guided architecture planning contributes 23.4 percentage points to end-to-end correctness.

The adoption of Microservice Architecture (MSA) has revolutionized software engineering by enhancing scalability, agility, and maintainability over traditional monolithic applications. As more developers transition their legacy systems to microservice-based architectures, effective microservice decomposition-partitioning monolithic applications into highly cohesive services-becomes vital. However, this decomposition task presents significant challenges. Manual approaches are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Existing automated methods often fail to capture the necessary semantic insights from complex applications, while naive applications of Large Language Models tend to overlook crucial contextual information and design principles, leading to suboptimal results. To address these challenges, we propose MicroAgent, a Context-Augmented Multi-Agent Framework for Microservice Decomposition. Our framework divides the decomposition process into five distinct subtasks and assigns each to a specialized agent. To enhance the effectiveness of each agent, we provide tailored, multi-granularity context that keeps its analysis focused and mitigates information overload. Furthermore, to ensure the decomposition adheres to established design principles, we integrate analytical tools that guide the agents' decision-making. Experimental evaluations on 10 Java Web applications demonstrate that MicroAgent achieves an average decomposition accuracy of 89.2%, outperforming the state-of-the-art method by 24.6%. We also conduct a case study to highlight the practical benefits of our design.
