MICROSERVICE ARCHITECTURE: A SOLUTION FOR MANAGING DIGITAL ECOSYSTEMS AT UNIVERSITIES

Ogorodov Dmitry Vladimirovich, Ivanov Nikita Gennadievich

this scientific article examines the importance and advantages of implementing microservice architecture in the context of higher education institutions. The relevance of the topic is due to the need to create a unified digital ecosystem capable of coping with growing amounts of data and ensuring high flexibility and scalability of university information systems in the context of digital transformation. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the transition from monolithic to microservice architecture, identify the key principles of its implementation and evaluate the expected results. The study examined the main limitations of monolithic systems, developed strategies for the transition to a microservice architecture, and provided examples of real-world cases demonstrating the successful application of this technology. The results show that the microservice architecture improves operational efficiency, simplifies application development and testing, and enables individual deployment of each service. The materials of the article will be useful for universities seeking to modernize their digital systems, and can be use to create an educational digital environment at the national level.
