Task Summary

This proposal should be approximately 2500 words (+/- 10%) excluding cover page, references and appendix. This proposal must be typed and clearly set out (presented professionally).

Particularly, the aim of this assessment is to enhance your employability skills through providing hands-on education and opportunities to practice real life experience. As a result, this assessment item is developed not only to evaluate your understanding of MSA application, but also to assist you practicing and improving your research skills. In doing so, this assessment will formatively develops the knowledge required for you to complete Assessment 3 successfully.

Context
MSA have been getting more and more popular over the last year, and several organisations are migrating monolithic applications to MSA. MSA allow developers to independently develop and deploy services, and ease the adoption of agile processes.

More recently, with the development of cloud computing, new ways of software development have evolved with MSA recognised as a cloud-native software development approach. As a professional, your role will require that you understand the principles of software development, especially in the field of cloud-based platforms, which are rapidly becoming the preferred hosting solution for many organisations. Having a working understanding of these concepts will enable you to fulfil many roles and functions, and be informed as to what factors influence decision making when software development architecture has been selected. Whilst you may not be a developer, it will enable you to have meaningful conversations about the principles of MSA and why certain decisions may be made in a certain way. This will support you to manage the bridge between IT and the business.

Task Instructions

Develop a business proposal to introduce the selected organisation, justify why you chose it and why microroservices is the best architecture in the selected organisation.

A title page with subject code and name, assignment title, student's name, student number, and lecturer's name.

The introduction (200-250 words) that will also serve as your statement of purpose for the proposal-this means that you will tell the reader what you are going to cover in your proposal. You will need to inform the reader of:

However, you are strongly advised to do some research regarding MSA in a "real-world" application.

The conclusion (200-250 words) will summarise any findings or recommendations that the report puts forward regarding the concepts covered in the report.

Format of the report
