• Abstract: Cloud-native systems are the mainstream for enterprise solutions, given their scalability, resilience, and other benefits. While the benefits of cloud-native systems fueled by microservices are known, less guidance exists on their evolution. One could assume that since microservices encapsulate their code, code changes remain encapsulated as well; however, the community is becoming more aware of the possible consequences of code change propagation across microservices. Moreover, an active mitigation instrument for negative consequences of change propagation across microservices (i.e., ripple effect) is yet missing, but the microservice community would greatly benefit from it. This paper introduces what it could look like to have an infrastructure to assist with change impact analysis across the entire microservice system and intends to facilitate advancements in laying out the foundations and building guidelines on microservice system evolution. It shares a new direction for incremental software architecture reconstruction that could serve as the infrastructure concept and demonstrates early results from prototyping to illustrate the potential impact.

  As migrating applications into the cloud is universally adopted by the software industry, have proven to be the most suitable and widely accepted architecture pattern for applications deployed on distributed cloud. Their efficacy is enabled by both technical benefits like reliability, fault isolation, scalability and productivity benefits like ease of asset maintenance and clear ownership boundaries. In some cases, the complexity of migrating an existing application into the architecture becomes overwhelmingly complex and expensive.

  Microservice resilience, the ability to recover from failures and continue providing reliable and responsive services, is crucial for cloud vendors. The current practice relies on manually configured specific rules to a certain microservice system, resulting in labor-intensity and flexibility issues. Our insight is that resilient deployment can effectively prevent the dissemination of degradation from system performance to user-aware metrics, and the latter affects service quality.
