Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for transparent resiliency to multiple data centers. The systems and methods depicted determine if an application programming interface (API) call is idempotent. If the API call is idempotent, the calls can be concurrently forwarded to multiple datacenters. If the API call is not idempotent, the calls can be sent to each of a multiple datacenters in turn until a response is received or timeout occurs. Automatically providing multi-region calls in synchrony provides a faster response time during data center or regional failures. Automatically providing multi-region calls in synchrony at the appliance server side, moves the logic out of the client and into a transparent and centrally managed service. This can allow business logic to focus on the core logic and not on logic to retry requests or manage the multi-regional aspect of a dependent service.

A first unique identifier can be generated for the first request to the first microservice and the device can establish a call chain for identifying a plurality of requests to a first microservice through a last microservice of the plurality of microservices accessed responsive to the first request. The device can forward the first request including the call chain to the first microservice and the second request including the call chain to the second microservice. The device can identify, via the call chain, that the first microservice depends on the second microservice.
