Facilitating performance of database operations using microservices

A computerized method for causing a database operation to be performed via a microservice, the method comprising:

• exposing a translation API by a processor of a translation layer, wherein the translation API is configured to receive commands in an API command format;
• receiving, by the processor, a command in the API command format via the exposed translation API from a command sender, the received command including a database type of a plurality of database types;
• identifying a microservice configured to perform the received command based on the included database type from a plurality of microservices, by the processor, wherein each microservice of the plurality of microservices is configured to be compatible with a database type of the plurality of database types;
• transferring, by the processor, the received command in the API command format to the identified microservice, wherein the identified microservice is configured to translate the transferred command from the API command format to a database command format associated with the database type included in the command and perform the translated command in the database command format in association with a database of the database type included in the received command;
• receiving a response, by the processor, from the identified microservice, based on performance of the received command by the identified microservice, wherein the received response is in a response format that is compatible with the exposed translation API;
• and
• providing, by the processor, via the exposed translation API, the received response to the command sender.

One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions for causing a database operation to be performed via a microservice that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to at least:

• expose a translation API, wherein the translation API is configured to receive commands in an API command format;
• receive a command in the API command format via the exposed translation API from a command sender, the received command including a database type of a plurality of database types;
• identify a microservice configured to perform the received command based on the included database type from a plurality of microservices, wherein each microservice of the plurality of microservices is configured to be compatible with a database type of the plurality of database types;
• transfer the received command in the API command format to the identified microservice, wherein the identified microservice is configured to translate the transferred command from the API command format to a database command format associated with the database type included in the command and perform the translated command in the database command format in association with a database of the database type included in the received command;
• receive, from the identified microservice, a response based on performance of the received command by the identified microservice, wherein the received response is in a response format that is compatible with the exposed translation API;
• and
• provide, via the exposed translation API, the received response to the command sender.
