Anomaly Detection System for Microservice-Based Applications

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon program code executable by a computer system, the program code embodying a method comprising:

• receiving one or more application programming interface (API) call traces, each API call trace including metadata regarding an API call made by a microservice-based application;
• evaluating the one or more API call traces against a baseline of normal API call behavior for the microservice-based application;
• and
• generating, based on the evaluating, a prediction for each of the one or more API call traces, the prediction indicating whether the API call corresponding to the API call trace is normal or anomalous.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program code that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
• receive one or more application programming interface (API) call traces, each API call trace including metadata regarding an API call made by a microservice-based application;
• evaluate the one or more API call traces against a baseline of normal API call behavior for the microservice-based application;
• and
• generate, based on the evaluating, a prediction for each of the one or more API call traces, the prediction indicating whether the API call corresponding to the API call trace is normal or anomalous.
