Multitenant Service Orchestration via Fine-Grained Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multitenant applications face challenges in accommodating variations in functionality while maintaining commonality, leading to decreased maintainability as the number of tenants increases, and current methods like Conditional Statements, Object-Oriented Programming, and Rule Engines are not sufficient to efficiently manage tenant-specific requirements.
Innovation Solution
The system employs an Object Style Adaptive Programming (OSAP) framework that generates fine-grained services with code, content, and configurations, allowing for dynamic variations by orchestrating these services to form coarse-grained services tailored to tenant preferences, using tenant-specific code, content, and configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a single runtime instance hosts multiple tenants with common functionality, then resource utilization and maintainability improve, but the ability to accommodate tenant-specific variations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the service code into fine-grained services that can be independently selected and orchestrated. Each tenant's specific requirements are met by selecting and composing appropriate fine-grained services, allowing the system to maintain a single runtime instance while accommodating tenant-specific variations through service composition rather than code duplication.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic service orchestration where the configuration of services can be changed at runtime based on tenant requirements. This dynamic composition of fine-grained services into coarse-grained services allows the system to adapt to different tenant needs without modifying the underlying code structure, thus maintaining both maintainability and adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If programming constructs like Conditional Statements and OOP are used to accommodate tenant variations, then tenant-specific functionality can be implemented, but code complexity and maintainability deteriorate as the number of tenants increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces service orchestration as an intermediary layer between the tenant requirements and the fine-grained services. This orchestration layer manages the complexity of tenant-specific configurations by providing a standardized mechanism to compose and manage services, eliminating the need for complex conditional logic and inheritance hierarchies in the underlying code.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates universal fine-grained services that can serve multiple tenants with different requirements. Each fine-grained service is designed to be independently reusable and can be orchestrated in different combinations to meet various tenant needs, replacing the need for tenant-specific code branches and reducing overall code complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional programming methods are used to manage multitenancy, then tenant-specific requirements can be addressed, but the system flexibility and scalability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the system into fine-grained services, the patent enables independent development, deployment, and scaling of each service. This segmentation allows the system to scale efficiently by adding or modifying individual services without affecting the entire system, while still meeting tenant-specific requirements through selective service composition.
Solution Approach 2:
The dynamic service orchestration mechanism allows the system to adapt to changing tenant requirements in real-time without requiring system-wide reconfiguration. This dynamic composition enables the system to scale flexibly by orchestrating different combinations of fine-grained services based on evolving tenant needs, improving both scalability and adaptability.
