Patent number: 11740884Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for migrating a service (e.g. microservice) from using a first application programming interface version to using a second (e.g. newer or updated) application programming interface version. The method may include determining a difference between specifications of the first and second versions of the application programming interface. Historical usage of the first version of the application programming interface by the service may then be analyzed with respect to the difference so as to determine if the service meets the specification of the second version of the application programming interface. Responsive to determining the service meets the specification of the second version of the application programming interface difference, the service may be migrated from using the first version of the application programming interface to using the second version of the application programming interface.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jack William Donato Evans, Martin A.

Patent number: 11714746Abstract: Comparing the performance of multiple versions or branches/paths of an application (e.g., a web service or application) may be conducted within a suitable computing environment. Such an environment may be virtual in nature, cloud-based, or server-based, and is hosted with tools for simultaneously (or nearly simultaneously) executing multiple containers or other code collections with the same or similar operating conditions (e.g., network congestion, resource contention, memory management schemes). By arranging the performance test of different application versions in different sequences executed in parallel in separate containers, fair comparisons of the tested applications will be obtained. Testing sequences may be executed multiple times, and metrics are collected during each execution. Afterward, the results for each metric for each code version are aggregated and displayed to indicate their relative performance quantitatively and/or qualitatively.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Zendesk, Inc.Inventors: Bazyli W.
