Re-initiation of microservices utilizing context information provided via service calls

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device to perform steps of:

• identifying, at a first microservice, a service call that is to be transmitted to a second microservice;
• modifying the service call to include context information, the context information characterizing a current state of execution of one or more tasks by one of the first microservice and the second microservice;
• and
• providing, from the first microservice to the second microservice, the modified service call including the context information;
• wherein the context information enables re-initiation of said one of the first microservice and the second microservice to continue execution of the one or more tasks from the current state.

A method comprising:

• identifying, at a first microservice, a service call that is to be transmitted to a second microservice;
• modifying the service call to include context information, the context information characterizing a current state of execution of one or more tasks by one of the first microservice and the second microservice;
• and
• providing, from the first microservice to the second microservice, the modified service call including the context information;
• wherein the context information enables re-initiation of said one of the first microservice and the second microservice to continue execution of the one or more tasks from the current state;
• and
• wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
