Microservices Architecture

Assessment - Business Proposal

Learning Outcome 1: Undertake research to demonstrate an understanding of microservices and how they contribute to business processes

Learning Outcome 2: Discuss core concepts of microservices architecture within a context of a business case study and summarise the advantages and disadvantages of adopting microservices architecture.

Learning Outcome 3: Communicate the benefits of microservices architecture to a diverse stakeholder audience by addressing complex business needs and aligning strategies to business priorities defined by changing business requirements

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). You need to pay special attention to principles and key concepts of MSA, service design and DevOps. The purpose of this assessment is to give you an opportunity to contextualise and convey to learning facilitator relevant knowledge based on "real-world" application. 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

You are expected to address the following steps to fulfil this assessment task:

1. Select an organisation using MSA that you are familiar with and / or have enough data and information (that could be publicly available).

2. Identify and analyse at least three business or organisational reasons for switching to MSA.

3. 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.

The report should consist of the following structure:
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:
a) Your area of research and its context
b) The key elements you will be addressing
c) What the reader can expect to find in the body of the report
The body of the report (1800-2000 words) you are required to research and write a proposal focused on the specific challenges and issues that arise owing to the use of MSA as a software development philosophy. 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.

1. Format of the report
The report should use font Arial or Calibri 11 point, be line spaced at 1.5 for ease of reading, and have page numbers on the bottom of each page. If diagrams or tables are used, due attention should be given to pagination to avoid loss of meaning and continuity by unnecessarily splitting information over two pages. Diagrams must carry the appropriate captioning.

2. Referencing

It is essential that you use appropriate APA style for citing and referencing research. Please see more information on referencing here.

There are requirements for referencing this report using APA referencing style. It is expected that you reference 10 sources in the relevant subject area based on readings and further research.

3. You are strongly advised to read the rubric, which is an evaluation guide with criteria for grading the assignment-this will give you a clear picture of what a successful report looks like.
