A Generic Microservice Architecture for Environmental Data Management

Abstract

The growing popularity of Web applications and the Internet of Things cause an urgent need for modern scalable data management to cope with large amounts of data. In the environmental domain these problems also need a solution because of big data coming from a large amount of sensors or users (e.g. crowdsourcing applications). This paper presents an architecture that uses a microservice approach to create a data management backend for the mentioned applications. The main concept shows that microservices can be used to define separate services for different data types and management tasks. This separation leads to many advantages such as better scalability and low coupling between different features. Two prototypes, which are already implemented, are evaluated in this paper.

A Generic Web Cache Infrastructure for the Provision of Multifarious Environmental Data

“…Existing APIs have to be partly replaced by new, unified, and more powerful versions. This entails a better automatic processing of data, with the aim of being able to provide information according to the ideas of the Semantic Web [12], e.g. using relevant standard formats such as RDF.…”

“…Further services, e.g. Link Service and Data Discovery Service, are described in the conference paper by Eric Braun et al [12].…”

“…to validate incoming data or to use the structure when visualizing the data. The Schema Service and its implementation based on JSON schema 5 are described in more detail in [12].…”

Lessons Learned from Developing a Microservice Based Mobile Location-Based Crowdsourcing Platform

“…Following from the generic microservices model developed by Braun et al for environmental data management [3], we make use of the architecture depicted in Figure 4 for our data orchestration requirements. In our case, metrics for performance aspects of different tasks (task completion time, number of times seen, selected, completed etc.)…”

The Micro-service Architecture Design Research of Financial Trading System based on Domain Engineering

“…With the emergence of micro-service architecture [3][4][5][6] and domain engineering [7][8][9][10] and its successful application at home and abroad, it provides new ideas and implementation solutions for the transformation of a single old system. In this paper, we will analyze the application system with domain engineering modeling, design the framework model with the common domain requirements, and provide theoretical basis for component division.…”
