Quality attributes in patterns related to microservice architecture: a Systematic Literature Review

Microservices is an interesting option for those who want to migrate their systems to improve performance, maintainability, scalability, and interoperability. Microservice architecture is a collection of self-sufficient services working together to provide functionalities. Nowadays, there are many options to build microservices, some of them are lead by patterns. However, the mapping between quality attributes and patterns is not clear yet. This systematic literature review presents a microservice pattern collection, it describes their benefits and the association between patterns and quality attributes. Finally, some metrics of quality attributes are identified.
