Abstract

The invention relates generally to an improved application structure that allows for layered governance of different or competing functions within a micro application services framework. A segmented layering allows both a horizontal array and a vertical array to build a three dimensional mesh application structure to support multiple services. Each service is supported by base and foundation layers that may be technology agnostic and allow for adaptation according to technological progression or policy evolvement without the need to alter the core micro application services framework. The collection of the framework and supporting layers can be encapsulated into nodes, and a collection of nodes can be grouped into a container hub. Nodes may draw learned behaviors from other nodes, and can isolate themselves when necessary.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system for a re-deployable elastic framework, the system comprising:

one or more memory components having computer readable code stored thereon;
and
one or more processor components operatively coupled to the one or more memory components, wherein the one or more processor components are configured to execute the computer readable code to:
generate one or more micro-business services layers, wherein the one or more micro-business services layers comprise a local interface and a single connection point for deploying one or more micro-service solutions, and wherein the one or more micro-business services layers support one or more additional layers via policy tasks including networking, routing, data logging, and database storage;
receive one or more micro-service solutions for deployment and categorize the one or more micro-service solutions based on capabilities, data usage, and deployment requirements for the micro service solution;
generate a node, wherein the node comprises assigning multiple of the one or more micro-service solutions to the node based on shared capabilities, data usage and shared deployment requirements;
deploy an elastic framework, wherein the elastic framework includes the one or more micro-business services layers, one or more additional layers, and one or more node layers, wherein the node layer comprises one or more nodes;
receive a request to add an additional micro-service solution;
assign the additional micro-service solution to one of the one or more nodes;
and
automatically re-deploy the elastic framework, wherein the re-deployed elastic framework comprises an updated node layer.

8 more elements

A computer program product for a re-deployable elastic framework, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

an executable portion configured for generating one or more micro-business services layers, wherein the one or more micro-business services layers comprise a local interface and a single connection point for deploying one or more micro-service solutions, and wherein the one or more micro-business services layers support one or more additional layers via policy tasks including networking, routing, data logging, and database storage;
an executable portion configured for receiving one or more micro-service solutions for deployment and categorize the one or more micro-service solutions based on capabilities, data usage, and deployment requirements for the micro service solution;
an executable portion configured for generating a node, wherein the node comprises assigning multiple of the one or more micro-service solutions to the node based on shared capabilities, data usage and shared deployment requirements;
an executable portion configured for deploying an elastic framework, wherein the elastic framework includes the one or more micro-business services layers, one or more additional layers, and one or more node layers, wherein the node layer comprises one or more nodes;
an executable portion configured for receiving a request to add an additional micro-service solution;
an executable portion configured for assigning the additional micro-service solution to one of the one or more nodes;
and
an executable portion configured for automatically re-deploying the elastic framework, wherein the re-deployed elastic framework comprises an updated node layer.
