Application infrastructure configuration based on annotated API schemas

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing instructions that when executed by a computer processor cause the computer processor to perform steps for automated configuration of infrastructure services, the steps comprising:

• receiving an application programming interface (API) schema of an application, wherein the API schema comprises one or more customized annotations;
• extracting information from the received API schema;
• setting up an API gateway to connect to an existing configuration of infrastructure services, wherein the API gateway is set up based on the extracted information;
• receiving one or more requests for invocation of a method of the API schema at the setup API gateway;
• logging the received requests;
• generating a set of alternate configurations of the infrastructure services based on the extracted information;
• simulating execution of a set of requests from the logged one or more requests on the generated set of alternate configurations of the infrastructure services to generate a set of valid alternate configurations;
• selecting a valid alternate configuration from the set of valid alternate configurations based on the simulated execution and predefined target criteria;
• and
• deploying the selected valid alternate configuration as a new configuration of infrastructure services in association with the API gateway to process subsequent incoming requests associated with the application.
