Micro-service architecture

Abstract

The invention discloses a micro-service architecture, which comprises a control plane and a data plane; the service agents in the data plane comprise a user mode agent and a kernel mode agent; the user mode agent is configured to receive a flow rule sent by a control plane and synchronize the flow rule to the kernel mode agent through cache; the kernel mode agent is configured to obtain a data packet sent by an upstream micro-service and forward the data packet to a downstream micro-service according to the flow rule; according to the invention, the network flow forwarding and processing between the micro-services are carried out by using the user mode agent and the kernel mode agent, so that the network processing flow is greatly shortened, the network delay between the micro-services isreduced, and the network performance of the same physical machine, container or virtual machine is improved to the performance level in the process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microservices, and more specifically relates to a high-performance microservice architecture. Background technique [0002] Microservice is a software architecture pattern, which advocates dividing a single application program into a group of small services, and the services coordinate and cooperate with each other to provide users with ultimate value. Each service runs in its own independent process, and the microservices are loosely coupled, and the services use a lightweight communication mechanism to communicate with each other (usually a RESTful API based on the HTTP protocol). The microservice framework is a software platform that supports microservice operation and management. Microservice applications are business application units that can be independently deployed and developed based on the microservice model. Each microservice application represents a small business capability. [0003] For mi...

[0005] figure 1 is the network traffic forwarding process of the current service grid framework, such as figure 1 As shown, in the current service grid framework, the local loopback port is used for communication between the agent and the microservice. The network traffic is sent from a microservice to the agent through a complete network layer 7 structure, controlled and forwarded by iptables, and the agent will Network traffic sent to downstream microservices also needs to go through a 7-layer network structure. The communication network between two microservices is lengthy, and the network process will generate a delay of 10 milliseconds or more. For some industrial production environments or other delays In a demanding environment, lengthy network processes affect network performance
