Abstract
An approach to architecting engineering design and digital manufacturing software systems by orchestrating several independently deployable, limited in scope, small software components (i.e., microservices). Interactions between these components are composed via first-order descriptions of workflows, allowing the construction of flexible, scalable, resilient systems.
