Microservices have gained widespread adoption in enterprise software systems because they encapsulate the expertise of specific organizational subunits. This approach offers valuable insights into internal processes and communication channels. The advantage of microservices lies in their self-contained nature, streamlining management and deployment. However, this decentralized approach scatters knowledge across microservices, making it challenging to grasp the holistic system. As these systems continually evolve, substantial changes may affect not only individual microservices but the entire system. This dynamic environment increases the complexity of system maintenance, emphasizing the need for centralized assessment methods to analyze these changes. This paper derives and introduces quantification metrics to serve as indicators for investigating system architecture evolution across different system versions. It focuses on two holistic viewpoints of inter-service interaction and data perspectives derived through static analysis of the system’s source code. The approach is demonstrated with a case study using established microservice system benchmarks.
