Perspectives for Selecting Cloud Microservices

Abstract

In the era of Cloud platforms, microservices have multiplied, becoming a de facto standard for software reuse. With so many alternatives, a challenge still open is to find the most adequate one, given a set of requirements and priorities. In this context, we present DIRECTOR, a Cloud microservice selection framework based on different perspectives: technical, social and semantical. Emerging results prove that it can support software acquisition via discovery and comparison of microservices, being able to recommend the fittest among hundreds of candidates.
