US Patent 9875086 Optimizing performance of applications driven by microservices architecture

An approach is provided in which an information handling system deploys a first microservice included in an application to a first microservice runtime environment (MRE). The information handling system receives a first set of performance metrics corresponding to a performance level of the first microservice in the first MRE, and receives a second set of performance metrics corresponding to a second MRE. Then, the information handling system determines that the first microservice will have a higher performance level in the second MRE than in the first MRE based on comparing the first set of performance metrics against the second set of performance metrics. As a result, the information handling system redeploys the first microservice from the first MRE to the second MRE.
