Identifying microservices for a monolith application through static code analysis

Methods, systems, and computer program products for identifying microservices from a monolith application through static code analysis are provided herein. A method includes performing a static code analysis to extract multiple features of a monolith application; partitioning code elements of the monolith application into multiple groups using an agglomerative clustering process, wherein the agglomerative clustering process is based on the extracted multiple features and a set of clustering metrics; obtaining at least one weight corresponding to one or more of: at least one of the multiple features and at least one of the multiple groups; adjusting the groups based on the at least one weight; generating a list of candidate microservices for the monolith application, wherein each candidate microservice in the list corresponds to a different one of the adjusted multiple groups; and outputting the list of candidate microservices to at least one of a system and a user.
