Abstract

This article summarises the contents of the invited keynote that I gave back in September 2020 at the "Microservices 2020" Conference, which was held entirely online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In that keynote, I started from the question of how we can check whether a software application satisfies the main principles of microservices and -if not- of how should we refactor it. To answer that question, I discussed the capacity of existing techniques to automatically extract an architectural description of a microservice-based application, to identify architectural smells possibly violating microservices’ principles, and to select suitable refactorings to resolve them. I also discussed how a (minimal) modelling of microservice-based applications can considerably simplify their design and automate their container-based deployment. Finally, I tried to point to some interesting directions for future research on microservices.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank all the colleagues with whom I had the pleasure of carrying on the research activities that were described in this keynote, starting from Jacopo Soldani, with whom I shared most of this work, and continuing with (in alphabetical order) Matteo Bogo, Giuseppe Muntoni, Davide Neri, Luca Rinaldi, and Olaf Zimmermann. I would like to thank also Hernan Astudillo, Edoardo Baldini, Javier Berrocal, Giuseppe Bisicchia, Stefano Chessa, Giorgio Dell'Immagine, Stefano Forti, Marco Gaglianese, Juan Luis Herrera, Javad Khalili, Juan M. Murillo, Federica Paganelli, and Francisco Ponce, with whom I co-authored the more recent work (after Microservices 2020) cited in the last part of this article.
