PRESERVING PERSISTENT LINK CONNECTIONS DURING A CLOUD-BASED SERVICE SYSTEM UPGRADE

Abstract:

A method and a microservice system for preserving link connections during an upgrade. The system a memory and an electronic processor. The processor is configured to initiate a client process upgrade for a first instance of a plurality of instances, each configured to establish and maintain a link connection between at least one of a plurality of electronic endpoint devices, store state data regarding the link connection between the first instance and an electronic endpoint device, and instantiate, for the first instance, an upgraded instance of the link adapter service. The processor is configured to shut down the first instance, causing the first instance to terminate the link connection to the endpoint device, and immediately establish a new link connection between the endpoint device and the upgraded instance, a state of the new link connection being established according to the stored state data.
