Abstract

Today's modern information society requires an extreme necessity of various software applications. To meet these demands, companies have to make more applications in shorter time frames. That led to an enormous evolution at two different levels: (i) The software architecture that recent incarnation in Microservices Architecture, and (ii) the development technologies, which have recently been manifested in No-Code/Low-Code movement that leading by Model-Driven development. In this paper, we present the current form of the Microservices Architecture by analyzing the code source of 50 projects of 50 different ideas based on microservices and we propose a new approach to integrate the Microservice Architecture with the new movement of the No-Code/Low-Code development to produce a platform that allows developers and other people who are not software developers to build, test, and deploy applications easily and quickly. We got promising results up to 91.21% of hand-coding optimization by a new Domain-Specific Language, which are explained in detail by a case study.
