Abstract: Disclosed herein is a computer implemented method of operating a computing environment to perform a live migration of a running process from a current computing node to an alternative computing node. The current computing node is configured for executing an application binary using a sandboxed runtime environment that comprises an application binary interface. The alternative computing node is configured for executing the application binary using the sandboxed runtime environment that comprises the application binary interface. The application binary interface has a node hardware independent instruction set. The method comprises: monitoring the running process on the current computing node to see if it meets a predetermined transfer criterion; adding the running process to a workload queue if the predetermined transfer criterion is detected; and migrating the running process from the current computing node to the alternative computing node.

Abstract: A method for reduced latency between software services operating in a service mesh, where the software services are instantiated when fulfilling requests is disclosed. The method comprises providing a plurality of services which fulfill a request, where communication between the services is based on support components, The method also comprises creating a directed dependency graph of the plurality of services by tracing request flows between the plurality of services, thereby nodes of the directed dependency graph represent services and edges of the directed dependency graph represent used communication paths between selected ones of the services, determining a dependent service for an incoming request to a selected one of the plurality of services based on the directed dependency graph, and starting an instance of the dependent service together with the selected one of the plurality of services.
