Titolo: The Evolution of Cloud Architectures: From Monolithic to Microservices to Serverless... to Micro-Frontends

Abstract:
Cloud-Native technologies, and especially microservices are enjoying increasing popularity and diffusion in industrial environments, being adopted by several big players such as Amazon, LinkedIn, Netflix, and SoundCloud. Several cloud-technologies are adopted because of the hype, and not because of real needs. During the migration, practitioners often face common problems, mainly to their lack of knowledge regarding bad practices of the new technologies. In this session, we provide an introduction of different cloud-native architectures, including microservices, serverless, and micro-frontends, reporting their issues and motivations, and describing the research we are conducting in the CloudSEA group if the Tampere University.

Bio Sketch:
Davide Taibi is Associate Professor at the Tampere University (Finland) where he led the Cloud Software Evolution and Assessment  (CloudSEA.ai). His research is mainly focused on Empirical Software Engineering applied to cloud-native systems, with a special focus on the migration from monolithic to cloud-native applications. He is investigating processes, and techniques for developing Cloud Native applications, identifying cloud-native specific patterns and anti-patterns. He is member of the International Software Engineering Network  (ISERN) from 2018. Before moving to Finland, he has been Assistant Professor at the Free University of Bozen/Bolzano (2015-2017), post-doctoral research fellow at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern and Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering - IESE (2013-2014) and research fellow at the University of Insubria (2007-2011).
