Microservice architecture focuses on dividing it into small and lightweight services to build for the purpose of performing very close business functions. So it tends to concentrate only on agility, productivity, reliability, and ease of deployment of software development. Microservice architecture considers database as just a file or storage for storing and extracting data, emphasizing that data quality can be sacrificed for convenience and scalability of software development. Database reverse engineering for understanding database structure and data semantics is needed for data utilization for business decision making. However, it is difficult that reverse database engineering is applied in microservice architecture that neglects data quality. This study proposes database reverse engineering method that utilizes master data to restore the conceptual data model as a solution. The proposed method is applied to the return service database implemented by microservice architecture and verified its applicability.

As the utilization of microservice architectural style in diverse applications are increasing, the microservice deployment cost became a concern for many companies. We propose an approach to reduce the deployment cost by generating an algorithm which minimizes the cost of basic operation of a physical machine and the cost of resources assigned to a physical machine. This algorithm will produce optimal resource allocation and deployment location based on genetic algorithm process.

With the proliferation of cloud computing infrastructures, service providers are able to deploy services in on-demand manner. Recently, microservice architecture has been attracting attention in order to maximize the efficiency of resource expansion in cloud infrastructure. Instead of implementing all of the service functions in a single software, service providers can easily and autonomously implement the necessary services by interconnecting the necessary services through an efficiently designed application programming interface (API). Moreover service developer can freely choice programming languages and define software, and functional structures to meet their functional requirements. In this paper, we propose virtual infrastructure manager service based on microservice architecture and evaluates its performance in scalability perspective.

Microservices are not only developed independently, but can also be run and deployed independently, ensuring more flexible scaling and efficient collaboration in a cloud computing environment. This impact has led to a surge in migrating to microservices-oriented application environments in recent years. In order to introduce microservices, the problem of identifying microservice units in a single application built with a single architecture must first be solved. In this paper, we propose an algorithm-based approach to identify microservices from legacy systems. A graph is generated using the meta-information of the legacy code, and a microservice candidate is extracted by applying a clustering algorithm. Modularization quality is evaluated using metrics for the extracted microservice candidates. In addition, in order to validate the proposed method, candidate services are derived using codes of open software that are widely used for benchmarking, and the level of modularity is evaluated using metrics. It can be identified as a smaller unit of microservice, and as a result, the module quality has improved.

In a situation where applications determine business competitiveness, they cannot respond to varying customer requirements without the cloud's flexibility and scalability. Companies have begun seeking ways to enjoy the advantages of the cloud fully, and the concept of "Cloud Native" is emerging as a solution to the problem. Cloud Native is now a target of interest in the market. Microservice and serverless functions can play a vital role in cloud-native architecture. Microservice arranges applications into various independent services, each offering certain functionality through mutual networking. eBPF is attracting attention as a cloud-native networking solution that quickly supports microservice features that repeat creation/deletion. This study identifies the characteristics of eBPF-based networking and evaluates cloud-native networking and secure networking using eBPF.

최근 마이크로서비스 아키텍처(Microservice Architecture)를 도입하는 프로젝트가 많아짐에 따라 컨테이너 오케스트레이션 도구인 쿠버네티스의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 쿠버네티스 환경을 구성하고 서비스를 테스트 및 배포하기 위해서는 클러스터링을 하고 yaml파일을 작성하고 적용하여 자원을 생성하는 등의 작업이 필요하다. 이렇게 반복되는 작업을 자동화하기 위해 기존에는 쉘스크립트를 사용하는데, 이를 사용하기 위해서는 쿠버네티스 및 인프라에 관한 기초지식이 있어야 하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로서비스를 위한 웹 기반의 배포 시스템을 제안한다. 웹을 통해 배포하고 테스트할 수 있어 기초지식이 없어도 사용할 수 있다. 웹에서 프로젝트 개발자로부터 도커 이미지와 사용할 포트번호 및 레플리카 개수를 입력받아 배포를 요청하면 쿠버네티스 환경에 배포하고, 필요한 자원들이 배포가 완료되면 엔드포인트를 제공한다. 그리고 배포된 서버의 엔드포인트에 요청을 전송하고 응답이 오는 것을 확인할 수 있어 활용성이 높다. 이 시스템은 쿠버네티스를 이용하여 복수 개의 파드(Pod)를 유지하여 가용성을 보장하고 빠르게 배포가 가능하게 한다. 또한 이미지가 업데이트되면 웹에서 요청하여 클러스터에 새 버전의 이미지로 배포한다.

One of the most promising technologies that is raised from the fourth industrial revolution is Digital Twin (DT). A DT captures attributes and behaviors of the entity suitable for communication, storage, interpretation or processing within certain context. A digital twin based on microservice framework architecture is proposed in this paper which identifies elements required for the complete orchestration of microservice based Survival Analysis of Lung Cancer Patients. Integration of microservices and Digital Twin Technology is studied.

A microservice architecture that accommodates the heterogeneity of various development environments and enables flexible maintenance can secure business agility to manage services in line with rapidly changing requirements. Due to the nature of MSA, where communication between microservices within a service is frequent, the boundary security that has been used in the past is not sufficient in terms of security, and a Zerotrust system is required. In addition, as the size of microservices increases, definition of access control policies according to the API format of each service is required, and difficulties in policy management increase, such as unnecessary governance overhead in the process of redistributing services. In this paper, we propose a microservice architecture that centrally manages policies by separating access control decision and enforcement with a general-purpose policy engine called OPA (Open Policy Agent) for collective and flexible policy management in Zerotrust security-applied environments.

Micro-service Architecture is a service architecture optimized for large-scale distributed systems such as real-time realistic broadcasting systems, so that are fiercely adopted by Global leading service platform vendors such as Netflix and Twitter due to the merit of horizontal performance scalability enabling the scale-out technique. In addition, micro-service architecture makes it possible to execute image processing and real-time data analysis using an asynchronous-based processing that are difficult to handle in Web API such as REST. In this paper, an event stream processing framework applicable to asynchronous based micro services is proposed in the sense that the accountability of event processing order is not guaranteed in the events such as IoT sensor data analysis or cloud-based image editing because these are the situations where the real-time media editing generates multiple event streams and asynchronous processes in the platform.

The future of Internet of Things ecosystem seems to be worth it, however by using a monolithic approach we might end up by dealing with complexity of the system as long as the statistics show that by 2020 IoT devices will reach around 50 billion. The microservice architecture approach utilizes the service-oriented architecture together with best practices and latest developments in software virtualization to overcome complexity issues, allow reusability of services or microservices instead of creating new ones. The microservice architecture provides secure platforms if it is developed and deployed in a container. Thus, this paper surveys on the microservices, microservices architecture and containers, microservices based Internet of Things.
