Abstract

The cloud is an emerging paradigm which leads the way for different approaches and standards. The architectural styles are evolving based on the requirements of the cloud as well. In recent years microservices is seen as the architecture style for scalable, fast evolving cloud applications. As part of this paper, a systematic mapping study was carried out around microservices. It is aiming to find out the current trends around microservices, the motivation behind microservices research, emerging standards and the possible research gaps. The obtained results can help researchers and practitioner in software engineering domain who want to be aware of new trends about SOA and cloud computing.
