Generation of service-level objective specifications using java annotation

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor are configured to:
• receive first source code defining a first computer-implemented service;
• receive a first annotation in the first source code, the first annotation comprising first metadata defining a name of an SLO specification;
• receive a second annotation in the first source code, the second annotation comprising second metadata defining a service-level objective (SLO) of a first aspect of the first computer-implemented service;
• compile the first source code to generate first compiled code;
• execute the first computer-implemented service using the first compiled code;
• and
• generate the SLO specification based on the first annotation and the second annotation, the SLO specification including the name of the SLO specification and a definition of the SLO of the first aspect of the first computer-implemented service, wherein the SLO specification is generated using the first metadata and the second metadata during compilation of the first source code.

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• an integrated development environment executed by at the least one processor;
• a compiler executed by the at least one processor;
• an annotation processor executed by the at least one processor;
• and
• non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, are effective to cause the integrated development environment to:
• receive first source code associated with a first computer-implemented service;
• receive a first annotation in the first source code, the first annotation comprising first metadata defining a name of an SLO specification;
• and
• receive a second annotation in the first source code, the second annotation comprising second metadata defining a service-level objective (SLO) of a first aspect of the first computer-implemented service;
• the compiler effective to compile the first source code to generate executable code for the first computer-implemented service;
• and
• the annotation processor effective to:
• receive the first annotation from the first source code;
• receive the second annotation from the first source code;
• and
• generate the SLO specification based on the first annotation and the second annotation, the SLO specification including the name of the SLO specification and a definition of the SLO of the first aspect of the first computer-implemented service, wherein the SLO specification is generated using the first metadata and the second metadata during compilation of the first source code.
