Title: " Enabling Microservices Architectures for Large-scale Business Processes via Publish/Subscribe and Events "
Lecturer: Professor Hans-Arno Jacobsen, Department of Informatics, Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany
Abstract
In today's era of Big Data and Internet of Things, many organizations rely on large-scale business processes that compose disparate microservices. To guarantee deterministic behavior, service-level agreements (SLAs) keep service provider and consumer in check. To effectively manage interactions across microservices, SLAs determine revenue, cost and customer satisfaction, but implementing and monitoring SLAs is often a manual and error-prone effort. Practitioners struggle with how to express, track, verify, manage, and enforce SLAs. This is further exasperated by a rapidly increasing reliance on "everything connected" to track supply and demand across global supply chains.
This talk presents a powerful architecture enabled by a distributed publish/subscribe system platform that relies on events and allows stakeholders to track SLAs across the entire services ecosystem. Our approach leverages events available at every layer of the stack to efficiently manage large-scale processes and interactions. Questions such as the following are addressed:
- What is a microservices architecture and what are large-scale business processes?
- Where is the value in Big Data in motion for managing business processes?
- What run-time adaptations and performance optimizations can be implement for large-scale business process management?
- Which technologies and design patterns are most effective for monitoring SLAs in real-time?
The talk draws from research conducted over the past decade by the Middleware Systems Research Group (http://msrg.org) and leverages insights gained from the PADRES "Events and Services Bus" for enabling microservices-based architectures (http://padres.msrg.utoronto.ca).
Short biography:
Hans-Arno Jacobsen is a professor of Computer Engineering and Computer Science and directs the activities of the Middleware Systems Research Group. He conducts research at the intersection of distributed systems and data management, with particular focus on middleware abstractions, (complex) event processing, and cyber-physical systems After studying and completing his Ph.D. in Germany, France, and the U.S., he engaged in post-doctoral research at INRIA near Paris, before moving to the University of Toronto in 2001. He has been awarded the Alexander von Humboldt-Professorship to engage in research at TUM in Germany.
