Decoupling Adaptive Control in TeaStore

This paper addresses the challenge of implementing self-adaptation in microservice architectures, specifically within the TeaStore case study. It emphasizes the importance of system-wide consistency, planning, and modularity in self-adaptive systems. The paper's value lies in its exploration of different architectural approaches (software architectural methods, Operator pattern, and legacy programming techniques) to decouple self-adaptive control logic from the application, analyzing their trade-offs and suggesting a multi-tiered architecture for effective adaptation.
