mikroteenusteksaware
Mikroteenusteksaware is a fictional term used in software architecture to describe a design approach in which microservices are intentionally built to be aware of their service contracts, security posture, and operational context. The name blends mikro (micro), teenus (service in Estonian), and ksaware (a suffix implying awareness). In this framework, each microservice carries self-describing metadata and participates in policy enforcement and observability from the moment it is deployed.
Key ideas include contract-first design, where service interfaces and expectations are defined up front and tested
Implementation typically involves a service mesh or API gateway to enforce policies, along with standardized interface
Criticism centers on potential tooling fragmentation, extra complexity for small teams, and the challenge of keeping
