Summary
Microservices tend to use a variety of tools to create a well‐defined process of building, packing, backing, and publishing. These tools are usually configured independently by their descriptors. Interrelations between the different tools arise implicitly, but the overall structure only works if the different configurations are correctly coordinated along each other. This paper motivates the development of a knowledge model via a microservice measurement infrastructure within the research project WINNER, which explicitly shapes these interrelationships. For the development of our infrastructure‐related work, experience and requirements of currently common tools are used as a basis. The model contains essential structures for the description of configurations and endpoints, artefacts, and connections for the creation as well as publication process of services result. Our results are applied and discussed in an example.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
