Microservices is a popular architectural style for the development of distributed software, with an emphasis on modularity, scalability, and flexibility. Indeed, in microservice systems, functionalities are provided by loosely coupled, small services, each focusing on a specific business capability. Building a system according to the microservices architectural style brings a number of challenges, mainly related to how the different microservices are deployed and coordinated and how they interact. In this paper, we provide a survey about how techniques in the area of Artificial Intelligence have been used to tackle these challenges.
