A Survey on Microservices Criticality Attributes on Established Architectures
Eduardo Fernandes Mioto de Oliveira dos Santos, Cláudia Maria Lima Werner · 2019
The microservice oriented software architecture considers the delegation of responsibilities by separate components, thus creating a set of interconnected but independent services. Information about the most critical microservices is relevant to software architects and other decision-makers, thus guiding the maintenance and evolution of architecture in a more assertive and guided way. This paper aims to observe the need for a method to measure criticality in a microservice oriented architecture, motivated by this purpose, during August 2019, a survey with twenty experienced participants from the industry and academia was conducted, where the lack of a grounded method to measure the criticality on established architectures was observed.
