Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple microservices are deployed in complex topologies, then service functionality and flexibility are improved, but deployment complexity and network congestion increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of communication traffic metrics between microservices before deployment. By evaluating communication patterns, dependencies, and traffic volumes in advance, the deployment planner determines optimal execution environments and network topologies beforehand, avoiding network congestion and deployment failures during actual service operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors communication traffic metrics between deployed microservices and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust deployment configurations. When traffic patterns change or congestion is detected, the system re-evaluates communication metrics and modifies deployment decisions to optimize network performance and service reliability.
2Productivity
If microservices are deployed on distant nodes to distribute load, then system scalability is improved, but communication traffic and network latency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system analyzes communication traffic metrics to identify which microservices have high interaction volumes and deploy them on nearby nodes together, creating local clusters with optimized communication. Meanwhile, other microservices with lower communication needs can be distributed to different nodes for load balancing. This local quality approach optimizes both communication efficiency and system scalability simultaneously.

AI summary
A method for determining a deployment configuration of multiple micro services that interact with each other is provided. The method includes the steps of determining a metric describing an amount of communication traffic between at least two of the micro services. Based on the metric, an execution environment may be determined for at least one of the micro services. Deployment information specifying that the at least one micro service shall be deployed on the determined execution environment may be generated.
