Supervisor:

Department of Software Engineering

Synopsis:

Students will become familiar with the latest trends, concepts, and middleware technologies in the context of service-oriented architectures. They will gain an overview of application protocols for implementing services, such as gRPC and REST, as well as of microservice architectures, containerization, and Kubernetes. Emphasis will be placed on performance aspects in Kubernetes, including application scaling, network communication optimization (CNI), and efficient resource utilization (CPU, RAM, limit/request).

Requirements:
