Extending the SEMAT Kernel for the Practice of Designing and Implementing Microservice-Based Applications using Domain Driven Design

Abstract

In the quest for organizations to undergo digital transformation, adoption of the microservice architecture has been a key enabler to re-imagine the application landscape. However, splitting the business domain into a distributed software architecture poses certain challenges. Applying proven practices through software processes can help us to address those. In this paper, we leverage SEMAT to scrutinize the approaches to develop applications with microservice architecture using Domain Driven Design (DDD). We introduce relevant alphas to extend the SEMAT Kernel to successfully adopt the practice of using microservices with DDD and deliver required software quality.

MicroServices-driven enterprise architecture model for infrastructure optimization

“…To successfully implement digital transformation strategies, businesses should follow a number of best practices [15,16]. These include:…”

“…Decision makers can work with enterprise archi- Decision makers can use enterprise architecture with MicroServices to make digital transformation by aligning business goals with technical capabilities, prioritizing development efforts, accelerating innovation, enhancing resilience and scalability, and improving time to market [12,13,15,16].…”

“…Additionally, exploring advanced techniques for workload balancing and resource allocation within the MicroServices architecture could contribute to further optimization and scalability improvements (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,15,16,17,18,19).…”
