Microservices-based Software Systems Reengineering: State-of-the-Art and Future Directions

Designing software compatible with cloud-based Microservice Architectures (MSAs) is vital due to the performance, scalability, and availability limitations. As the complexity of a system increases, it is subject to deprecation, difficulties in making updates, and risks in introducing defects when making changes. Microservices are small, loosely coupled, highly cohesive units that interact to provide system functionalities. We provide a comprehensive survey of current research into ways of identifying services in systems that can be redeployed as microservices. Static, dynamic, and hybrid approaches have been explored. While code analysis techniques dominate the area, dynamic and hybrid approaches remain open research topics.

Service Colonies: A Novel Architectural Style for Developing Software Systems with Autonomous and Cooperative Services

This paper presents the concept of a service colony and its characteristics. A service colony is a novel architectural style for developing a software system as a group of autonomous software services co-operating to fulfill the objectives of the system. Each inhabitant service in the colony implements a specific system functionality, collaborates with the other services, and makes proactive decisions that impact its performance and interaction patterns with other inhabitants. By increasing the level of self-awareness and autonomy available to individual system components, the resulting system is increasingly more decentralized, distributed, flexible, adaptable, distributed, modular, robust, and fault-tolerant.
