Abstract

One example method includes, within a microservice architecture: (i) obtaining a resource utilization associated with a set of parameters for each microservice within a set of consistency groups, wherein, for each particular consistency group within the set of consistency groups, each microservice within the particular consistency group is associated with a particular distributed operation, and wherein each respective consistency group of the set of consistency groups defines, for each microservice within the respective consistency group, one or more threshold values associated with each parameter of the set of parameters, (ii) for multiple consistency groups of the set of consistency groups, determining whether resource utilization satisfies corresponding thresholds of the one or more threshold values, (iii) determining respective priority levels for each of the multiple consistency groups, and (iv) selectively modifying resource utilization for one or more microservices within the multiple consistency groups in accordance with the respective priority levels.
