DISCOVER IMPACTFUL WORK:Transmission electronic microscopes are the most complex laboratory instruments that are being developed and used today. Software is crucial into exploiting all the potential of these microscopes, pushing the limits of current physical technologies. These microscopes are used by scientists and engineers in life science, material sciences and semiconductor industry, indirectly affecting our life in many aspects. By contributing into this software development, you might help the development of better vaccines, new lighter and stronger materials, or more efficient semiconductors. ASSIGNMENT:How service-oriented architecture for stateful hardware should look like? SCOPE:- How to use hardware instead of database in microservice architecture? - What is the most effective approach to test such services? - What kind of interfaces should be defined in such architecture?
