Patent attributes
A computer-implemented method for exposing a software component through a predetermined protocol is disclosed. The method may include receiving a software component including at least one of a configuration, an operation, a trigger, and a parameter, and receiving a metamodel describes the configuration, the operation, the trigger, and the parameter. The method may also include generating a microservice and an API specification entirely based on the metamodel without additional coding. The computer-implemented method may further include deploying the microservice such that the microservice accepts incoming requests described by the API specification, and receiving a formatted response from the deployed microservice. The method may also include receiving a new configuration of the software component created on the deployed microservice, and generating a resource identifier that identifies the new configuration of the software component. The computer-implemented method may further include using the resource identifier to interact with the software component.
