Lifting the Veil on Meta's Microservice Architecture - Analyses of Topology and Request Workflows
Offered By: USENIX via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a comprehensive analysis of Meta's microservice architecture in this 20-minute conference talk from USENIX ATC '23. Gain insights into the topology and request workflows of large-scale microservice systems, as researchers from Tufts University and Meta reveal previously unreported aspects crucial for developing and researching tools in this domain. Discover the extreme heterogeneity and constant flux of the topology, the presence of software entities that challenge traditional microservice architecture concepts, and the highly dynamic nature of request workflows. Learn about the predictability of local properties using service and endpoint names, and understand the impact of obfuscating factors in microservice measurement. Conclude with valuable implications for tools and future research opportunities in the field of microservice architectures.
