Item	Research Problem	Research Questions	Students
1	Microservices Architecture in Banking - In recent years, there is much written about microservices architecture. Even so, there is very little written about how microservices are used in the banking industry. I study is needed to understand microservices implementation in banking.	Research Question 1: How do banks decide on the boundary context and granularity of microservices? Research Question 2: What kind of tool sets do banks use for building, testing, and deploying microservices? Research Question 3: What strategies to banks employ for migrating from monolithic systems to microservices?	Student 1, Student 2, Student 3, Student 4
2	Data Replication Across Microservice Instances - In a microservices architecture, as the demand (# of invocations) for a microservice increases, management tools elastically create replicate instances of the microservice. A study is needed to understand mechanisms for replicating the data underlying multiple instances of a microservice.	Your topic	Student 1, Student 2, Student 3, Student 4
