Project Overview

The goal of the project is to migrate a mature C++ application running under Windows to a distributed service based on Linux Docker containers. Key aspects of the project include:

1.  Migration of all business processes, while maintaining their functionality, stability and performance, to a Dockerized form that can be installed in a cloud environment;
2. Replacement of code building and quality assurance tools from Windows platform-specific solutions, to mature cross-platform solutions.
3. Enabling further development of the application's business processes, with parallel implementation of changes to both Windows-based and Linux-based versions throughout the transition.

The project requires an in-depth understanding of the existing code base, finding Windows platform-specific solutions and proposing effective and mature multi-platform solutions.
