Multi-layer interaction and code examiner for n-tier architecture applications

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for tangibly storing instructions capable of being executed by a processor, the instructions defining steps of:

• receiving a request from a user to analyze a consumer microservice;
• retrieving first source code associated with the consumer microservice and second source code associated with a producer microservice;
• analyzing the first source code to identify issues in the first source code;
• retrieving log data generated by the consumer microservice;
• analyzing the first source code, the second source code, and the log data to identify unused fields transmitted by the producer microservice to the consumer microservice;
• generating a report including the issues and the unused fields;
• and
• causing one of a build or deployment process to fail in response to determining that the report includes one or more issues.

A device comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive a request to analyze a consumer microservice,
• retrieve first source code associated with the consumer microservice and second source code associated with a producer microservice,
• analyze the first source code to identify issues in the first source code,
• retrieve log data generated by the consumer microservice,
• analyze the first source code, the second source code, and the log data to identify unused fields transmitted by the producer microservice to the consumer microservice,
• generate a report including the issues and the unused fields, and
• cause one of a build or deployment process to fail in response to determining that the report includes one or more issues.
