Migración hacia una arquitectura basada en microservicios del sistema de gestión centralizada de laboratorios de la DGIP

Abstract

Throughout the software life cycle a stage of software architecture design is contemplated by virtually all the methodologies, this stage is overlapped by implementation stage. As a result, monolithic architectures unable to grow functionally have been created and implemented, in this way, appear the need to migrate into another architecture that gives flexibility, modifiability and understandability of the software, these benefits are not present in monolithic architectures. The microservices architecture is characterized by its scalability. The correct design of a microservices architecture, represents a set of services that are deployable independently and it offers a high degree of resilience and scalability. The transforming process architecture to another, requires a large investment in an execution plan, the degree work is the implementation of a microservices architecture based on a methodological proposal of migration of monolithic architectures to microservices is proposed. The implementation presented here contemplates the study of available tools for the development of microservices, selection of the agile development methodology, acquisition of prior knowledge of the functionality of the application to migrate, and then to carry out a complete analysis of the source code and finally apply a reverse engineering work on the database to understand the business processes of the application. The implementation of the migration presented in this degree work has been carried out on the “Sistema de Gestión Centralizada de Laboratorios” (SISLAB), belonging to the “Sistema Integrado de Información” (SII) of “Escuela Politécnica Nacional del Ecuador”.
