[AIAS-03] Architecture overview

The Online Boutique application is a cloud-native microservices application implemented by Google as a demo application for Kubernetes. It is a web-based sample, yet a fully-fledged, e-commerce application.

To stress the application and validate Akamas AI-based configurations under load, the setup includes the Locust load testing tool which simulates user activity on the application.

Prometheus is used to collect metrics related to the application (throughput and response times) as well as Kubernetes infrastructure (container resource usage).
