Abstract

A request with data is received at an execution environment of an application. In response to the request, a first network packet is automatically created. The first network packet includes the data, orchestration code and application code of the application. The first network packet is sent to a first network node. The first network node executes a first section of the application code in a node execution environment. The section to be executed is determined based on the orchestration code. In response to the execution, a microservice associated with the application is invoked. Upon receiving a response from the microservice, a second network packet is dynamically generated. The second network packet includes the received response, the orchestration code, and one or more sections of the application code. The second network packet is sent to a second network node.

Claims (38)

1. A computer-implemented method to orchestrate services, the method comprising:

receiving a first network packet comprising data, source code, and a destination identifier specifying a destination of a second network packet, wherein the source code comprises code of an application and orchestration code;

executing a first section of the code of the application;

in response to the execution, invoking a service associated with the application;

receiving a first response from the service;

dynamically generating the second network packet, wherein the second network packet comprises the first response and one or more remaining sections of the source code; and

sending the second network packet to the destination specified by the destination identifier.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service is an independently deployed microservice that runs in a separate computing process.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first response comprises data from the service.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first response comprises an error message from the service.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

based on the orchestration code, sending the second network packet to a second network node.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

based on the orchestration code, sending the second network packet to the application.

7. A computer system to dynamically orchestrate services, the system comprising:

at least one processor and memory that execute program code, the program code comprising:

a client that sends a first network packet comprising data, source code, and a destination identifier specifying a destination of a second network packet, wherein the source code includes code of an application and orchestration code; and

a first network node that receives the first network packet, executes a first section of the code of the application, invokes, in response to the execution of the first section of the code of the application, a service associated with the application, and dynamically generates, upon receiving a first response from the service, a second network packet comprising the first response and one or more remaining sections of the source code.

8. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the first network node comprises a node execution environment to execute the first section of the code of the application.

9. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the service is an independently deployed microservice that runs in a separate computing process.

10. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the first network node further sends the second network packet to the destination specified by the destination identifier.

11. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the second network packet further comprises:

an error message when the first response comprises an error; or

a response data when the first response comprises data.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which when executed by at least one processor cause a computer system to perform operations comprising:

receive a first network packet comprising data, source code, and a destination identifier specifying a destination of a second network packet, wherein the source code includes code of an application and orchestration code;

execute a first section of the code of the application;

in response to the execution, invoke a service associated with the application;

receive a first response from the service;

dynamically generate the second network packet, wherein the second network packet comprises the first response and one or more remaining sections of the source code; and

send the second network packet to the destination specified by the destination identifier.

13. The computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the service is an independently deployed microservice that runs in a separate computing process.

14. The computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the first response comprises data from the service.

15. The computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the first response comprises an error message from the service.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 12 further comprising instructions to:

based on the orchestration code, sending the second network packet to a second network node.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 12 further comprising instruction to:

based on the orchestration code, sending the second network packet to the application.
