Abstract
Approaches presented herein enable hot upgrading a microservices sequence in a cloud computing environment. More specifically, a next microservice of microservice subsequence in a running sequence is obtained, in response to a message to invoke the microservice or subsequence. The running microservice sequence includes at least one unexecuted microservice or subsequence that is to be hot upgraded. The running microservice sequence is generated based on a sequence that is to be hot upgraded which comprises an ordered list of microservices and/or subsequences. The approach may include determining the status of a next microservice or subsequence. The approach may further include invoking the next microservice or subsequence in the running sequence, in response to the status of the next microservice or subsequence being upgrade-complete.
