DEVELOPMENT OF APPLICATION USING MODULAR MONOLITH ARCHITECTURE AND EXTRACTION OF MICROSERVICE FROM MODULE

Abstract

As part of this paper, a specification for an imaginary software system is created, which was developed using a modular monolith architecture. The system is sufficiently complex to simulate work on a real-world project. Subsequently, microservice was extracted from the module, transitioning the system to a microservice architecture. The goal of the thesis is to explore the challenges involved in transitioning from a modular monolith to a microservice architecture. The paper presents both architectures, focusing on communication methods and data handling. The development process is described, outlining the necessary steps for implementing the software system. The results of the work are illustrated using C4 diagrams, showcasing the changes that occur during the transition from a modular to a microservice architecture. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of both architectures are discussed, along with recommendations for improving the process and suggestions for further research.
