You don’t have to transition your monolith to microservices; deploying a monolith is fine if it fits your needs. However, if ever you need to, you could shield your aggregator with a gateway or a reverse proxy so you can extract modules into their own microservices and reroute the requests without impacting the clients. This would also allow you to gradually transfer the traffic to the new service while keeping the monolith intact in case of an unexpected failure.

In a Modular Monolith, the aggregator registers most dependencies, so when migrating, you must also migrate this shared setup. One way to not duplicate code would be to create and reference a shared assembly containing those registrations. This makes it easier to manage the dependencies and shared configurations, but it is also coupling between the microservices and the aggregator. Leveraging the code of this shared assembly is even easier when the microservices are part of the same...
