  • Topology-aware continuous evaluation of microservice-based applications
    Patent number: 11184241
    Abstract: A method and system of determining a health state of a microservice based application includes extracting traces of multiple variants of a microservice-based application. Topologies of the multiple variants are inferred based on the extracted traces. One or more topological differences of each of the multiple variants are identified based on the extracted traces. Each topological difference is ranked. The topological differences of the microservice-based application are displayed on a user interface, including a microservice map of the topological differences and a listing of a top ranking of the topological differences.
