Abstract
Microservices are deployable software artifacts that combine a set of business features and expose them to other microservices. Ideally, the reuse and interchanging of microservices should be easy as they are supposed to be independent of each other, both conceptually and technologically. Selecting a service to fulfill a given feature (e.g., managing a cart in a website) recalls the way Software Product Lines (SPL) allow variability. However, in practice, interchanging microservices requires knowing the features that the services propose, how they communicate with other services and their types. In this work, we propose to analyze service dependencies as feature dependencies, at the feature, structural, technological, and versioning level, to assess the interchangeability of services. We analyze six community-selected use-cases and report that services are non-interchangeable systematically.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
