A Bird’s Eye View of Microservice Architecture from the Lens of Cloud Computing

연구 분야: Software Development

학회: International Conference on Advancements in Smart Computing and Information Security

In past couple of years, cloud computing has emerged as one of the fastest growing technologies across the globe. In order to keep pace with the advancements taking place in the cloud computing paradigm and to cater the needs of current businesses, there is a continuous evolution in the architectural patterns for building the distributed systems as well. Microservices is one of those architectural patterns which has emerged as an advanced variant of Service Oriented architectural style. Microservices architecture is entirely an amalgamation of notions like domain-driven design, continuous integration continuous delivery, DevOps, containerization, highly scalable and agile systems. As a part of the study, an exhaustive survey is carried out around the ecosystem of microservices architecture. This paper aims at exploring the recent development in microservice architectural pattern, emerging trends and the potential research gaps. The paper outlines the survey of the efforts done by various researchers in discrete aspects of microservice like design and implementation of applications in different domains based on microservices, strategies to empower maintainability and scalability of microservices, security aspects of microservices, strategies for data management and fault tolerance in microservices, orchestration of microservice and frameworks to achieve event sourcing in microservice architecture. The findings of this survey will set a path ahead for addressing the current challenges in various aspects of microservices architecture discussed in the study and further innovations to the same.
