Methods, system, and computer readable media for handling multiple versions of same service provided by producer network functions (NFs)

Abstract:

A method for handling multiple instances of a service provided by one or more producer network functions (NFs) includes, at a service based architecture (SBA) platform including at least one processor and a memory, obtaining first and second application programming interface (API) version indicators associated with first and second service instances implemented by one or more producer NFs. The method further includes decoding the first and second API version indicators. The method further includes detecting, based on results of the decoding, multiple instances of the same service and that a first service instance is backward compatible with a second service instance. The method further includes implementing canary testing of the first service instance.
