Model-Integrating Microservices: A Vision Paper

: Model-integrating development is a novel approach that aims to provide a comprehensive conceptual framework for the engineering of flexible software systems. The atomic building blocks for architecting model-integrating software are modelintegrating components which support the modular cooperation of flexible models and efficient code at runtime. Model-integrating components achieve flexibility by using models at runtime and operations on them like querying, transforming and interpreting. Microservices achieve flexibility by upgrading whole components at runtime. In this short paper, we sketch the vision of Model-Integrating Microservices (MIMs) that combine the strengths of model-integrating components with microservices to support continuous software engineering. With this early work, we intent to initiate a fruitful discussion about architectural design considerations in the community. 1 Background and Motivation Model-Integrating Development (MID) [Der15] is a novel approach...
