What about Maintenance?

While rapid project creation is valuable and striking, experience has taught us that maintenance costs outweigh initial coding. Only then is business agility materially improved.

So, it's appropriate to ask whether Microservice Automation addresses maintance.

It does.

Declarative rules play a significant role in iterative development with support for maintenance automation:

  • Rule are automically invoked, and ordered. So, unlike code, you can add/alter rules without worrying about where to place them so they run, and in the proper order, with automatic chaining (dependency management).

  • Rules are automatically optimized, reducing SQLs by pruning and adjustment-based aggregates.

  • Debug rules using the IDE debugger, and the logic trace, which shows which rules fire.
