New tool simplifies creating agile, scalable, and maintainable software services.
The article discusses how companies use service-oriented architectures and microservices to improve their systems. The researchers created a tool called Context Mapper that helps design these services using Domain-driven Design patterns. They also developed a method for refining service designs and transitioning to microservice architectures. The study introduces new concepts for service design and a tool for generating service contracts. These contributions are implemented in Context Mapper and are being tested with real-world data.
