Abstract

Microservices application architecture emerged as a special application architecture of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). It is also known as cloud native applications architecture. For component based web applications, a transformation to microservices architecture requires an extensive refactoring process to be evolved to microservices. Current practice for the main activity in this refactoring process, is following the white box based approaches which require enormous time to analyze all business processes in the business domain besides not considering nonfunctional requirements such as performance and resource consumption. This paper explains the design and the validation of GranMicro as a black box based approach, applied on a sample browsing scenario in e-bookshop web application. The aim of this approach is to support the decision of a main design issue in this software architecture which is the service granularity. This decision usually relies on the experience of the software architect rather than a structured approach, which is the main contribution of this paper.
