Recently the trend of companies switching from microservice back to monolith has increased, leading to intense debate in the industry. We conduct a multivocal literature review, to investigate reasons for the phenomenon and key aspects to…

Microservice applications are created as loosely coupled application components and they leverage cloud elasticity to reduce costs and increase development speed. However, microservice applications exhibit complex interactions among…

Microservice architectures encourage the use of small, independently developed services; however, this can lead to increased architectural complexity. Accurate documentation is crucial, but is challenging to maintain due to the rapid,…

Microservices are a popular architectural style adopted by the industry when it comes to deploying software that requires scalability, maintainability, and agile development. There is an increasing demand for improving the sustainability of…

Monolithic applications used to be considered the standard for software development. However, due to the rapid evolution of technology and the increasing demand for scalability and flexibility, these applications have become increasingly…

Microservices based architectures are based on a set of modular, independent and fault-tolerant services. In recent years, the software engineering community presented studies investigating potential, recurrent, effective architectural…

Several companies are re-architecting their monolithic information systems with microservices. However, many companies migrated without experience on microservices, mainly learning how to migrate from books or from practitioners' blogs.…

To refactor already working code while keeping reliability, compatibility and perhaps security, we can borrow ideas from micropass/nanopass compilers. By treating the procedure of software refactoring as composing code transformations, and…

Software refactoring plays an important role in software engineering. Developers often turn to refactoring when they want to restructure software to improve its quality without changing its external behavior. Studies show that small-scale…

In the micro frontends architectural style, the frontend is divided into smaller components, which can range from a simple button to an entire page. The goal is to improve scalability, resilience, and team independence, albeit at the cost…

Cloud-native systems represent a significant leap in constructing scalable, large systems, employing microservice architecture as a key element in developing distributed systems through self-contained components. However, the decentralized…

Microservices is an emerging development paradigm where software is obtained by composing autonomous entities, called (micro)services. However, microservice systems are currently developed using general-purpose programming languages that do…

The reengineering process of large data-intensive legacy software applications to cloud platforms involves different interrelated activities. These activities are related to planning, architecture design, re-hosting/lift-shift, code…

Refactoring is the de-facto practice to optimize software health. While several studies propose refactoring strategies to optimize software design through applying design patterns and removing design defects, little is known about how…

Widely used complex code refactoring tools lack a solid reasoning about the correctness of the transformations they implement, whilst interest in proven correct refactoring is ever increasing as only formal verification can provide true…

Background. The migration from monolithic systems to microservices involves deep refactoring of the systems. Therefore, the migration usually has a big economic impact and companies tend to postpone several activities during this process,…

The microservice architecture is a style inspired by service-oriented computing that has recently started gaining popularity and that promises to change the way in which software is perceived, conceived and designed. In this paper, we…

Microservices architecture is one of the new architectural styles that has improved in recent years. It has become a popular architectural style among system architects and developers. This popularity increased with the advent of new…

Microservice architecture advocates a number of technologies and practices such as lightweight container, container orchestration, and DevOps, with the promised benefits of faster delivery, improved scalability, and greater autonomy.…

Microservices emerged as a popular architectural style over the last decade. Although microservices are designed to be self-contained, they must communicate to realize business capabilities, creating dependencies among their data and…
