Abstract

Despite the prevalence and importance of microservices in industry, there exists limited research on microservices, partly due to lacking a benchmark system that reflects the characteristics of industrial microservice systems. To fill this gap, we conduct a review of literature and open source systems to identify the gap between existing benchmark systems and industrial microservice systems. Based on the results of the gap analysis, we then develop and release a medium-size benchmark system of microservice architecture.

Benchmarking microservice performance: a pattern-based approach
SAC '20: Proceedings of the 35th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing

Benchmarking microservices serves to understand and check their non-functional properties for relevant workloads and over time. Performing benchmarks, however, can be costly: each microservice requires the design and implementation of a benchmark, ...
Graph-based trace analysis for microservice architecture understanding and problem diagnosis
ESEC/FSE 2020: Proceedings of the 28th ACM Joint Meeting on European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering

Microservice systems are highly dynamic and complex. For such systems, operation engineers and developers highly rely on trace analysis to understand architectures and diagnose various problems such as service failures and quality degradation. However, ...
Benchmarking the performance of microservice applications

Application performance is crucial for end user satisfaction. It has therefore been proposed to benchmark new software releases as part of the build process. While this can easily be done for system classes which come with a standard interface, e.g., ...
