Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for the refactoring of local calls to network calls during software modernization. First and second application components are identified based on analysis of a computing application. A local call from the first application component to a process of the second application component is identified, and an independently deployable microservice is created from the computing application. The independently deployable subunit comprises the second application component having a network endpoint. The independently deployable microservice is deployed such that the process is accessible to the first application component via the network endpoint. The local call is programmatically refactored into a network call from the first application component to the process of the second application component.
