In microservices-based systems, architects find it hard to reason about the impact of their design decisions on performance before implementing them. While definitions of anti-patterns help to avoid inadequate design decisions, they are context-...

Security smells, i.e., possible symptoms of bad security decisions, can occur in microservice-based applications, potentially resulting in violations of key security properties. The decision of whether or not to refactor a service to mitigate the ...

The calibration industry faces significant challenges due to its diverse and sophisticated equipment and complex traditional processes. Rapidly advancing technology highlights existing challenges while inspiring the adoption of innovative ...

Analysis of developer collaboration in software projects can provide meaningful insights into the development culture of the team as well as enforce good and prevent bad development practices, such as observing the one service - one team rule for ...

Many failure root cause analysis (RCA) algorithms for microservices have been proposed with the widespread adoption of microservices systems. Existing algorithms generally focus on RCA with ranking single-level (e.g. metric-level or service-level) root ...

Monitoring and debugging modern cloud-based applications is challenging since even a single API call can involve many interdependent distributed microservices. To provide observability for such complex systems, distributed tracing frameworks track ...

Microservice has become a de facto standard for building large-scale cloud applications. Overload control is essential in preventing microservice failures and maintaining system performance under overloads. Although several approaches have been proposed, ...

Latency critical applications running in modern datacenters exhibit irregular request arrival patterns and are implemented using multiple services with strict latency requirements (30μs–250μs). These characteristics render existing energy saving idle CPU ...

In the ever-evolving landscape of fashion technology, the development of innovative solutions has become paramount to meet the dynamic needs of consumers and industry stakeholders. This paper introduces GARMENTO, a customizable business-to-...

The modern web services landscape is characterized by numerous fine-grained, loosely coupled microservices with increasingly stringent low-latency requirements. However, this architecture also brings new performance vulnerabilities. In this paper, we ...

Securing microservice applications is crucial. Security smells denote symptoms of bad –often unintentional– design decisions, which may result in violating security properties, and that can be resolved via refactoring. Stakeholders take into account the ...

In this paper, we present an open-source web-based system, called Open V2X Management Platform (O-V2X-MP), which facilitates the management of charging points for electric vehicles with the goal of realizing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) scenarios. ...

In the evolving landscape of software development and system operations, the demand for automating traditionally manual tasks has surged. Continuous operation and minimal downtimes highlight the need for automated detection and remediation of runtime ...

The finer-granularity of microservices facilitate their evolution and deployment on shared resources. However, resource concurrency creates elusive interdependencies, which can cause complex interference patterns to propagate as performance anomalies ...

In the modern fast paced and highly autonomous software development teams, it's crucial to maintain a sustainable approach to all performance engineering activites, including performance testing. The high degree of autonomy often results in teams ...

As the market for cloud computing continues to grow, an increasing number of users are deploying applications as microservices. The shift introduces unique challenges in identifying and addressing performance issues, particularly within large and complex ...

Microservices have been a cornerstone for building scalable, flexible, and robust applications, thereby enabling service providers to enhance their systems' resilience and fault tolerance. However, adopting this architecture has often led to many ...

In this paper, we present a cloud-based microservices architecture designed for multi-agent-based Traffic Control Systems (TCS). This architecture facilitates decentralized control, real-time responsiveness, and dynamic scalability. To validate our ...

Hybrid cloud provides an attractive solution to microservices for better resource elasticity. A subset of application components can be offloaded from the on-premises cluster to the cloud, where they can readily access additional resources. However, the ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution is transforming system interactions and functionalities, necessitating more adaptable, scalable, and responsive systems architectures. These IoT systems build on recent advances in software architectures, ...
