Configuration recommendation for a microservice architecture

A system for providing a configuration, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• store information on multitier configurations provided by one or more cloud providers, each of the multitier configurations corresponding to at least one throughput parameter;
• receive a configuration request from a user for a configuration that satisfies a set of conditions in a cloud environment, a condition of the set of conditions specifying a throughput that satisfies a throughput threshold;
• search the configuration data store for the configuration that satisfies the set of conditions, wherein the database management server provides, based on searching the configuration data store, a multitier configuration that does not satisfy all of the set of conditions but corresponds to a throughput parameter which satisfies the throughput threshold to the user, the multitier configuration that does not satisfy all of the set of conditions being determined by applying a K-nearest neighbor (KNN) model on the configurations in the configuration data store, an input of the KNN model being based on one or more conditions of the set of conditions, wherein the multitier configuration specifies a first container located at a first tier of a multitier microservice architecture and a second container located at a second tier of the multitier microservice architecture, each multitier configuration specifying one or more containers located at the first tier and one or more containers located at the second tier;
• and
• for one or more multitier configurations in the cloud environment:
• retrieve a first throughput for the respective configuration;
• populate a table with an entry specifying the respective configuration and the first throughput;
• and
• store the table in the configuration data store.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of machine-readable instructions that when executed by one or more processors is adapted to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a configuration request from a user for a configuration that satisfies a set of conditions in a cloud environment, a condition of the set of conditions specifying a throughput that satisfies a throughput threshold;
• searching a configuration data store for the configuration that satisfies the set of conditions in response to receiving the configuration request, the configuration data store storing information on multitier configurations provided by one or more cloud providers, each of the multitier configurations corresponding to at least one throughput parameter;
• providing to the user, based on searching the configuration data store, a multitier configuration that does not satisfy all of the set of conditions but corresponds to a throughput parameter which satisfies the throughput threshold, the multitier configuration that does not satisfy all of the set of conditions being determined by applying a K-nearest neighbor (KNN) model on the multitier configurations in the configuration data store, an input of the KNN model being based on one or more conditions of the set of conditions, the multitier configuration specifying a first container located at a first tier of a multitier microservice architecture and a second container located at a second tier of the multitier microservice architecture, each multitier configuration specifying one or more containers located at the first tier and one or more containers located at the second tier;
• and
• for one or more multitier configurations in the cloud environment:
• retrieving a first throughput for the respective configuration;
• populating a table with an entry specifying the respective configuration and the first throughput;
• and
• storing the table in the configuration data store.
