A new research framework called MS2M (MicroService Stateful Migration) with Forensic Container Checkpointing enables live migration of stateful services by capturing runtime state and restoring it elsewhere, potentially solving the downtime challenge when moving databases, AI pipelines, and other stateful workloads across clusters or regions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
