In this positional paper we propose a modeldriven approach which addresses challenges related to modeling, development and deployment of software applications that follow the microservice architecture (MSA) design principles. We argue in favor of a model-driven tool which can be used to resolve challenges from the MSA establishment domain by providing a domain-specific language for MSA modeling and code generators for producing: (i) program and configuration code for MSA implementation; and (ii) program procedures for MSA building, packaging and installation. We give a brief description of two approaches to software application development which emerged in the last decade: the monolithic architecture approach and the MSA approach. We focus on challenges related to MSA establishment and argue that our model-driven approach could be suitable for their resolution. We also propose a plan of research activities aimed at improving our approach and which will lead to the final implementation of a model-driven tool to support such an approach

Public utility regulation in the United States has been, by many measures, a tremendous success. Capacity is adequate, service levels are high, and costs are reasonable, or at least competitive globally. However, with respect to incenting and supporting innovation, regulation has demonstrably had problems. In the regulated telephone industry, for example, state and federal regulations have in the past stifled innovation and delayed the introduction of new technologies.
