MICROSERVICES ARCHITECTURE: A THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND CHALLENGES
Keywords:
Microservices architecture, software design, service decomposition, inter-service communication, scalability, system resilienceAbstract
Microservices architecture (MSA) is a software design approach that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services, each responsible for a specific business function. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of microservices architecture, exploring its foundational principles, design patterns, and the challenges it poses for software development. We examine key concepts such as service decomposition, inter-service communication, and scalability. The paper also discusses the trade-offs associated with microservices, particularly in terms of complexity, data consistency, and system resilience. By providing a comprehensive understanding of the microservices architecture, this paper aims to guide software architects and developers in making informed decisions when adopting this architectural style.
