Abstract

This study examines the shift from monolithic to microservices architecture, focusing on significant obstacles and effective methods including API gateways, containerization, Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and event-driven architectures. Technologies like AI-driven automation, serverless computing, and edge computing are anticipated to boost performance, reduce costs, and facilitate real-time processing. Research in self-healing systems, sustainable cloud computing, and multi-cloud approaches will enhance microservices in the future. To maximize the advantages of microservices, organizations should transition their systems gradually, implement automation, and prioritize innovation in order to develop robust, secure, and forward-thinking applications.
