Reliability Engineering for Polyglot Microservice Environments Through Automated Service Dependency Mapping
Keywords:
polyglot microservices, reliability engineering, service dependency mapping, contract verification, resilience assessment, heterogeneous architectures, dynamic analysisAbstract
Rapid microservice usage has made polyglot software ecosystems with several programming languages and frameworks harder. Polyglot microservice ecosystem reliability engineering requires automatic service dependency mapping, dynamic contract verification, and resilience assessment. The framework infers inter-service dependencies, essential service paths, and hidden failure sites across service implementations using runtime instrumentation, static analysis, and intelligent tracing. Auto-contract validation finds interface compliance, compatibility issues, and cascade failures in complex service topologies. Researchers found the framework increases system observability, fault tolerance, and operational resilience, providing reliability engineers and architects with data. In-depth service landscape analysis, monitoring, and maintenance improve microservice reliability.
