Abstract

Microservices architecture is a promising approach for developing reusable scientific workflow capabilities for inte- grating diverse resources, such as experimental and observational instruments and advanced computational and data management systems, across many distributed organizations and facilities. In this paper, we describe how the INTERSECT Open Architec- ture leverages federated systems of microservices to construct interconnected science ecosystems, review how the INTERSECT software development kit eases microservice capability develop- ment, and demonstrate the use of such capabilities for deploying an example multi-facility INTERSECT ecosystem.
