“…In order to achieve this goal, we plan to improve MicroBuilder, a model-driven tool which we have developed during our previous research [30]. MicroBuilder has addressed the majority of challenges related to MSA modeling and development, including the automation of the UMS and the IMS layer development and the REST-based synchronous inter-microservice communication specification.…”

“…During our previous research [30] we have developed MicroBuilder, a model-driven tool for the specification of software applications that follow Representational State Transfer (REST) microservice software architecture design principles. MicroBuilder comprises two modules: (i) MicroDSL, a module that provides a DSL used for the specification of the REST microservice software architecture, and (ii) MicroGenerator, a module which comprises a set of code generators which implement series of model-to-text transformations (M2T).…”

“…The MicroGenerator module [30] will be transformed to the MsaCodeGen module and divided into to several submodules: [38], and 4. the MsaDPY submodule which will provide a set of code generators for generation of program code which implements the MSA deployment procedures. We plan to support generation of provisioning scripts for the IBM Cloud Container services [39] and the AWS EC2 Multicontainer Docker Environments [40].…”

In this positional paper we propose a modeldriven approach which addresses challenges related to modeling, development and deployment of software applications that follow the microservice architecture (MSA) design principles. We argue in favor of a model-driven tool which can be used to resolve challenges from the MSA establishment domain by providing a domain-specific language for MSA modeling and code generators for producing: (i) program and configuration code for MSA implementation; and (ii) program procedures for MSA building, packaging and installation. We give a brief description of two approaches to software application development which emerged in the last decade: the monolithic architecture approach and the MSA approach. We focus on challenges related to MSA establishment and argue that our model-driven approach could be suitable for their resolution. We also propose a plan of research activities aimed at improving our approach and which will lead to the final implementation of a model-driven tool to support such an approach

“…Micro-services play an important role in data-intensive EIS and especially in IoT, as implementation of the servitization and componentization principles in its design and development. Using DSL in their development can significantly increase the reliability and quality of micro-services, as well as reduce the redundancies in their design (Terzić et al 2018).…”

Microservices have gained wide recognition and acceptance in software industries as an emerging architectural style for autonomic, scalable, and more reliable computing. The transition to microservices has been highly motivated by the need for better alignment of technical design decisions with improving value potentials of architectures. Despite microservices' popularity, research still lacks disciplined understanding of transition and consensus on the principles and activities underlying that transition. In this paper, we report on a systematic mapping study that consolidates various views, approaches and activities that commonly assist in the transition to microservices. The study aims to provide a better understanding of the transition; it also contributes a working definition of the transition and technical activities underlying it. We term the transition and technical activities leading to microservice architectures as microservitization. We then shed light on a fundamental problem of microservitization: microservice granularity and reasoning about its adaptation as first-class entities. This study reviews state-of-the-art and-practice related to reasoning about microservice granularity; it reviews modeling approaches, aspects considered, guidelines and processes used to reason about microservice granularity. This study identifies opportunities for future research and development related to reasoning about microservice granularity.
