Microservice Orchestration framework

Management of microservice orchestration mentions:

• Netflix have some open source offerings https://github.com/Netflix/conductor and https://github.com/Netflix/eureka
• Suggested by ONTO: https://airflow.apache.org/

We use AirFlow in some projects as a data pipelining solution. I don't think it's appropriate for microservice orchestration.

I think FUI should do some research and comparison of such frameworks. A quick google search finds eg:

https://medium.com/microservices-architecture/top-10-microservices-framework-for-2020-eefb5e66d1a2
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/microservices-frameworks/
https://dzone.com/articles/top-10-microservices-frameworks-for-2023

These open source ones are mentioned in the first article:

• Spring Boot / Spring Boot with Spring Cloud
• Eclipse Vert.X
• Eclipse MicroProfile

We use Spring Boot at ONTO, but I'm not a Java programmer so I don't know exactly for what.

Tom also asked "are there semantic ontologies to describe microservices"

• I have a folder software,datatype,algorithm,function,execution,provisioning of such ontologies
• Currently it has these, I recommend checking out the ones marked (*), or I can brief you about them
  ADMS.SW
  CloudInformationModel
  CoCoOn
  CodeMeta
  DOAP-DOAS
  DockerOnto
  EvoOnt
  FNO (*)
  Hydra (*)
  Linked Software Dependencies (*)
  OntoDT
  SWO
• But I'm not sure either of them coves all that you need to describe Microservices
• For that, FUI needs to define use cases of what to describe: deployment details? detailed input/output requirements?
• Then I can look for newer ontologies and research
