Benefits of technology
This patent describes a method for processing requests among microservices in a computer network. By using an API to aggregate the requests, the method automatically receives and optimizes the requests based on parameters of the original API. This improves the efficiency of processing requests in the network layer and reduces delays in transferring requests between micro services. The technical effect of this invention is to enhance the overall performance and reliability of computer networks that use microservices for processing tasks.
Problems solved by technology
However, a problem with microservice architectures is that they can have large overhead for communications among the involved services.
For example, when a monolithic application is translated into a microservice application, the throughput was reduced to one third and the response time was increased five times. The major cause of the performance degradation is the overhead to get and process requests.

Embodiment Construction
[0021]The present invention is directed to aggregating requests among microservices.
[0022]In an embodiment, the present invention improves the performance of microservice applications by aggregating requests among the microservices. To that end, in an embodiment, a new REST API is generated that receives the aggregated requests automatically from an original REST API. In an embodiment, the number of aggregated requests can be optimized as follows: (i) If a wait time for requests to be aggregated is too long, the total response time can increase; and (ii) If a wait time for requests to be aggregated is too short, the total response time cannot decrease.
[0023]FIG. 1 shows an exemplary processing system 100 to which the invention principles may be applied, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The processing system 100 includes at least one processor (CPU) 104 operatively coupled to other components via a system bus 102. A cache 106, a Read Only Memory (ROM) 108, a...

A computer-implemented method is provided for processing requests among microservices in a computer network. The method includes generating, by a processor, a method to return a body of a response from an Application Programming Interface (API) that aggregates the requests among the microservices to form aggregated requests. The method further includes generating, by the processor, another API that automatically receives the aggregated requests from the API by receiving an array of parameters of the original API and calling the method using each of the parameters of the array as a call parameter for the method. The method also includes optimizing, by the processor, a number of aggregated requests in a network layer of the computer network based on a wait time and a response time to receive and transfer requests between micro services.
Description
BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0001]The present invention relates generally to information processing and, in particular, to a hardware-assisted approach for local triangle counting in massive graphs.Description of the Related Art[0002]Recently, microservice architectures are becoming popular for agile software development. The microservice architecture allows each service to be developed independently by constructing an application as a set of services which are loosely connected through REpresentational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).[0003]However, a problem with microservice architectures is that they can have large overhead for communications among the involved services. For example, when a monolithic application is translated into a microservice application, the throughput was reduced to one third and the response time was increased five times. The major cause of the performance degradation is the overhead to get and process requests.[0004]Thus, ther...
