To introduce and evaluate μBench, an open-source tool designed to generate customizable synthetic microservice applications for benchmarking cloud and edge computing platforms.
Engineered an application generator running on Kubernetes clusters with configurable service mesh topologies, APIs (HTTP and gRPC), and stress modules for CPU, memory, I/O, and network resources.
Evaluated performance using stochastic and trace-driven workloads across generated microservice configurations, including two models parameterized from an empirical cloud dataset.
Characterized operational and latency trade-offs between distributed microservice systems and monolithic application designs.
Identified measurable performance impacts driven by changes in service mesh routing topology and microservice instance replication.
