Research Paper: Ensuring Syntactic Interoperability Using Consumer-Driven Contract Testing
Abstract: Integrating services in service-based architectures is a major concern and challenge to their developers. A key problem is that today’s compilers cannot ensure syntactic interoperability of web APIs. Without further help, invalid calls surface only at runtime. Microservice-based architectures exacerbate this problem due to their use of polyglot software stacks and independent deployments. As […]Abstract: Integrating services in service-based architectures is a major concern and challenge to their developers.

Final Thesis: Modernizing the Data Storage Interface of a Cloud Application
Abstract: This thesis presents the modernization of the backend architecture of QDAcity, a cloud-based web application that supports Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA). The existing backend of QDAcity is effective; however, it has limitations in terms of efficiently handling blob data, which can affect both performance and scalability. In order to address these challenges, the project […]

Final Thesis: Performance Optimization for JValue: Implementing and Evaluating Microservice Architectures
Abstract: The emergence of microservice architectures presents a paradigm shift in application development, offering a modular approach where applications are composed of small, independent services, that focus on one specific task. While this architecture fosters many advantages regarding flexibility, scalability, and maintainability, it introduces challenges, particularly in testing. Crucially, performance testing serves as a cornerstone […]Abstract: The emergence of microservice architectures presents a paradigm shift in application development, offering a modular approach where applications are composed of small, independent services, that focus on one specific task.
