A network device may include a memory to store instructions. The network device may further include a processor to execute the instructions to obtain information relating to a loosely-coupled composite service, where the loosely-coupled composite service includes a group of services. The processor may further execute the instructions to analyze the obtained information to determine one or more design recommendations, and re-factor the loosely-coupled composite service as a target composite platform based on at least one of the one or more design recommendations.
