“…In the case of the Single Instance Per Host and the Multiple Instances Per Host, a Host can be either a physical or a virtual machine (VM). The most popular deployment pattern, both in industry and academia, is the Single Instance Per Container, followed by the Single Instance Per Host, where a host is a VM [28]. There are several reasons why containers are preferred over VMs [28]: (i) creating and launching container images are often very fast, (ii) the same physical server can hold more containers than VMs due to their size, and (iii) more than one container can use a single operating system, which in turn reduces the overhead of licensing costs compared to the VM.…”

Microservice Architecture (MSA) is a rising trend in software architecture design. Applications based on MSA are distributed applications whose components are microservices. MSA has already been adopted with great success by numerous companies, and a significant number of published papers discuss its advantages. However, the results of recent studies show that there are several important challenges in the adoption of microservices such as finding the right decomposition approach, heterogeneous technology stacks, lack of relevant skills, out-of-date documentation, etc. In this paper, we present Silvera, a Domain-Specific Language (DSL), and a compiler for accelerating the development of microservices. Silvera is a declarative language that allows users to model the architecture of microservice-based systems. It is designed so that it can be used both by inexperienced and experienced developers. The following characteristics distinguish Silvera from similar tools: (i) lightweight and editor-agnostic language, (ii) built with heterogeneity in mind, (iii) uses microservice-tailored metrics to evaluate the architecture of the designed system, and (iv) automatically generates the documentation. Silvera’s retargetable compiler transforms models into runnable code and produces the documentation for each microservice in the model. The compiler can produce code for any programming language or framework since code generators are registered as plugins. We present a case study that illustrates the use of Silvera and also discuss some current limitations and development directions. To evaluate Silvera, we conducted a survey based on A Framework for Qualitative Assessment of DSLs (FQAD), where we focused on the following DSL characteristics: functional suitability, usability, reliability, productivity, extendability, and expressiveness. Overall, the survey results show that Silvera satisfies these characteristics.

“…With RPC, microservices can communicate either in a synchronous or asynchronous manner, whereas with Messaging the communication is always asynchronous. According to Aksakalli et al [28], it is not possible to determine the most popular communication pattern, since the selected pattern can change over time as the system evolves.…”

“…At the backend, an orchestra of Celery [42] workers and Spark [43] jobs are deployed to offer microservices such as resource management, data management, data processing, and many others. Communication between Celery's microservice workers takes place over message-oriented middleware based on AMQP [44]. The core also includes a MongoDB [45] database which keeps records of all edge stations operating in the remote facilities.…”

Internet of Things (IoT) provides large-scale solutions for efficient resource monitoring and management. As such, the technology has been heavily integrated into domains such as manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, and utilities, which led to the emergence of sustainable smart cities. The success of smart cities depends on the availability of data, as well as the quality of the data management infrastructure. IoT introduced numerous new software, hardware, and networking technologies designed for efficient and low-cost data transport, storage, and processing. However, proper selection and integration of the correct technologies is crucial to ensuring a positive return on investment for such systems. This paper presents a novel end-to-end infrastructure for solar energy analysis and prediction via edge-based analytics.

COVID‐19 has exposed and widened the disparity in education. The paper reviews the efforts made by educational institutions and organizations to offer services to the disadvantaged in an effort to eliminate the educational gap. Based on the literature, the primary issues which led to increasing in the gap of educational inequality were identified as the need for books, internet connection, study gadgets/devices, extra tutoring, food and study space, and psychological counseling. This paper proposes an online system using the microservices architecture to provide a holistic system that addresses the key concerns that contributed to the educational discrepancy. The application proposes a variety of business services that are logically separated from each other, and that can be deployed and scaled independently. Each of the provided services is autonomous and can communicate with other services.
