US Patent 9588813 Determining cost of service call

Computing platforms may enable clients to use services to perform data processing jobs. A given job may utilize several services in a service call pattern. Each of these services consumes resources during execution. Described herein are systems, devices and methods for determining costs associated with performance of a service call pattern. Weight data may be generated for each service using various metrics. As service calls are made in the service call pattern, an accumulated weight value is generated which is indicative of the weight data of the services in the service call pattern. The accumulated weight data may represent metrics such as amounts of resources consumed, latency, and transactions per second.
