The microservice architecture is a novel paradigm for building and operating distributed
applications in many organizations. This paradigm changes many aspects of how distributed …

The global scale and challenging requirements of modern cloud applications have led to the
development of complex, widely distributed, service-oriented applications. One enabler of …

The microservice architecture is widely employed in large Internet systems. For each user
request, a few of the microservices are called, and a trace is formed to record the tree-like …

Modern internet-scale applications suffer from cross-service inconsistencies, arising
because applications combine multiple independent and mutually-oblivious datastores. The …

Service meshes play a central role in the modern application ecosystem by providing an
easy and flexible way to connect microservices of a distributed application. However …

Log-Structure Merge-tree (LSM) based Key-Value (KV) systems are widely deployed. A
widely acknowledged problem with LSM-KVs is write stalls, which refers to sudden …

Distributed snapshots are a classic class of protocols used for capturing a causally
consistent view of states across machines. Although effective, existing protocols presume an …

Microservice architecture is the computing paradigm of choice for large, service-oriented
software catering to real-time requests. Individual programs in such a system perform …

Loosely-coupled and lightweight microservices running in containers are likely to form
complex execution dependencies inside the system. The execution dependency arises …

Microservices are emerging as a popular cloud-computing paradigm. Microservice
environments execute typically-short service requests that interact with one another via …
