Palette

Palette is a framework that uses distributed tracing datasets to generate representative microservice systems that can be used as macrobenchmarks by researchers for performing intervention experiments. Palette processes distributed traces to generate a system topology consisting of Graphical Causal Models (GCMs) for modeling the intrinsic system behavior. Palette then provides runtime bindings for converting the topology into an implementation enhanced with a GCM-enabled runtime that ensures that generated system behaves in a representative manner. Palette integrates these implementations with Blueprint to allow researchers to conduct a wide variety of intervention experiments across the vast design space of microservices.
