The present invention provides a system and method for automation of the creation of a software application as a combination of microservices by extraction of discrete elements of software functionality from a monolithic architectures using dynamic and static analysis of code and non-code-related artefacts; forming them into microservices such that the software application is recreated as serverless hardware infrastructure while also validating the transformed code. In many cases, serverless microservices will significantly reduce the hardware requirement for software systems.
