Energy Metrics for Edge Microservice Request Placement Strategies
Klervie Toczé, Simin Nadjm‐Tehrani · 2025
Microservices are a way of splitting the logic of an application into small blocks that can be run on different computing units and used by other applications. It has been successful for cloud applications and is now increasingly used for edge applications. This new architecture brings many benefits but it makes deciding where a given service request should be executed (i.e. its placement) more complex as every small block needed for the request has to be placed.
