Abstract

Service-oriented architectures (SOA) enable orchestration of loosely-coupled and interoperable functional software units to develop and execute complex but agile applications. Data management on a distributed data grid can be viewed as a set of operations that are performed across all stages in the life-cycle of a data object. The set of such operations depends on the type of objects, based on their physical and discipline-centric characteristics. In this chapter, the authors define server-side functions, called micro-services, which are orchestrated into conditional workflows for achieving large-scale data management specific to collections of data. Micro-services communicate with each other using parameter exchange, in memory data structures, a database-based persistent information store, and a network messaging system that uses a serialization protocol for communicating with remote micro-services. The orchestration of the workflow is done by a distributed rule engine that chains and executes the workflows and maintains transactional properties through recovery micro-services. They discuss the micro-service oriented architecture, compare the micro-service approach with traditional SOA, and describe the use of micro-services for implementing policy-based data management systems.
