Abstract
A method for adjusting the resource allocation ratio between microservices used to run an application. A microservice test sequence is defined which has an order that follows the traffic flow through the microservices. Each microservice is analyzed in order of the test sequence to classify whether or not it is acting as a bottleneck for the application. This is done by measuring whether or not decrementing the microservice's resource causes the application throughput to decrease. For each microservice classified as a bottleneck and in reverse order of the test sequence, its resource is successively incremented until the application throughput starts to increase, indicating it is no longer acting as a bottleneck. The resource allocation ratio can then be adjusted to reflect this procedure.
