AGILITY WITH MICROSERVICES PROGRAMMING – RESEARCH WORKSHOP

(Chairs: Filipe Figueiredo Correia, Saverio Giallorenzo, Kati Kuusinen,

Until recently, the science and practice of developing large-scale systems has been focussed on the development, deployment, and testing of the so-called monolith: a single piece of software implementing all the features of the system and containing all the software dependencies needed to implement its functionalities. While microservices are a solution for maintainability, evolvability, scalability, and reuse, they come at a cost: an increased complexity that calls for an improvement of the current techniques for software construction and advanced engineering practices.
