Abstract

We propose Sliceable Monolith, a new methodology for developing microservice architectures and perform their integration testing by leveraging most of the simplicity of a monolith: a single codebase and a local execution environment that simulates distribution. Then, a tool compiles a codebase for each microservice and a cloud deployment configuration. The key enabler of our approach is the technology-agnostic service definition language offered by Jolie.
