Microservices as Agents in IoT Systems

Developing robust monolith systems has achieved its limitations, since the implementation of changes in today’s large, complex, and fast evolving systems would be too slow and inefficient. As a response to these problems, microservice architecture emerged, and quickly became a widely used solution. Such modular architecture is appropriate for distributed environment of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. In this paper we present a solution for service management on Machine-to-Machine (M2M) devices within IoT system by using collaborative microservices. Collaboration of distributed modules highly reminds of multi- agent systems where autonomous agents also cooperate to provide services to the end-user. Because of these similarities we consider microservices as modern agents that could improve systems in distributed environments, such as IoT.
