Model-Driven Code Generation for Microservices: Service Models

DROPS (Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics)

Abstract

We formally define and implement a translation of domain and service models expressed in the LEMMA modelling ecosystem for microservice architectures to source code in the Jolie microservice programming language. Specifically, our work extends previous efforts on the generation of Jolie code to the inclusion of the LEMMA service modelling layer. We also contribute an implementation of our translation, given as an extension of the LEMMA2Jolie tool, which enables the practical application of our encoding. As a result, LEMMA2Jolie now supports a software development process whereby microservice architectures can first be designed by microservice developers in collaboration with domain experts in LEMMA, and then be automatically translated into Jolie APIs. Our tool can thus be used to enhance productivity and improve design adherence.
