“…In distributed systems such as microservices, a reliable communication channel among services plays a crucial role to orchestrate services, especially in the event-driven design, where all the events and state information are constantly exchanged among service instances. Therefore, this communication channel can be considered as the backbone of a microservice-based application, and in fact, some existing frameworks even require the developers to design the data communication before implementing the services [6]. Thus, in this paper, we investigate how to exploit the already mature communication infrastructure for microservices to solve the state management problem and develop an efficient migration scheme.…”

In the last few years, the proliferation of edge and cloud computing infrastructures as well as the increasing number of mobile devices has facilitated the emergence of many novel applications. However, that increase of complexities also creates novel challenges for service providers, for example, the efficient management of interdependent services during runtime. One strategy is to reallocate services dynamically by migrating them to suitable servers. However, not every microservice can be deployed as stateless instances, which leads to suboptimal performance of live migration techniques. In this work, we propose a novel live migration scheme focusing on stateful microservices in edge/cloud environments by utilizing the underlying messaging infrastructure to reconstruct the service's state. Not only can this approach be applied in various microservice deployment scenarios, experimental evaluation results also show a reduction of 19.92% downtime compared to the stop-and-copy migration method.

The growing number of Internet presents a higher requirement to backend application systems nowadays to be designed to handle thousands of users traffic concurrently. Microservice architecture is also in a rising trend which they allow for each service to scale horizontally by their throughput and load helps to scale the system efficiently without waste of resources like in the traditional monolithic application system. Among the many strategies to optimize delivery, database connection pool helps backend systems to access databases efficiently by reusing database connections, thus eliminating the computationally expensive need to open and close connections with new requests. Additionally, database connection pools can also help improve the connection reliability for applications. This paper aims to determine the most suitable maximum amount of database connections in a microservice setting, where multiple instances of the service are used for scalability and high availability purposes of the system. To tackle the issue of scalability and to achieve high availability of our services, we propose running multiple instances of each of our services in production, especially for services that we anticipate will be hit the most during runtime. This is to allow load balancing of request load between multiple instances and having backup instances to serve HTTP requests when one of the instances is down. The result obtained in this experiment shows that 5 database connections give the best result in microservice settings as described in our methodology.
