Developing Self-Adaptive Microservice Systems: Challenges and DirectionsNabor C. Mendonca, Pooyan Jamshidi, David Garlan et al.
A self-adaptive system can dynamically monitor and adapt its behavior to preserve or enhance its quality attributes under uncertain operating conditions. This article identifies key challenges for the development of microservice applications as self-adaptive systems, using a cloud-based intelligent video surveillance application as a motivating example. It also suggests potential new directions for addressing most of the identified challenges by leveraging existing microservice practices and technologies.
