In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing cross-microservice query processing. The system provides an object service framework that supports the use of microservices that may be loosely-coupled but related in some way, for example in that they interoperate together or require access to each other's data in order to process queries. Each microservice can be developed, deployed and evolve independently, and interact with the other microservices through contracts or interfaces that are defined as public APIs and are then exposed via the framework. The object service framework can be used, for example to provide a cross-microservice layer that automatically transforms queries that join objects in different microservices into a single database query that is optimized for use with the database.
