Abstract: E-commerce platforms must efficiently handle high traffic, frequent updates, and seamless user experiences.Traditional monolithic architectures, where all components (UI, database, and business logic) are tightly integrated, often struggle with scalability, slow updates, and system-wide failures.As businesses grow, these limitations make innovating and maintaining performance difficult.To solve this, many companies are migrating to microservices architecture, where applications are broken into smaller, independent services that communicate through APIs.This approach improves scalability, speeds up development, and enhances system reliability by isolating failures to specific services instead of affecting the entire system.The migration process involves identifying and separating key services like order processing, payments, and inventory management.Managing data efficiently is crucial, whether through shared databases or independent data storage for each service.API communication ensures smooth service interaction, often using REST or messaging protocols.While transitioning from a monolith to a microservices architecture requires careful planning, the benefits of better performance, flexibility, and resilience make it a strategic move for modern business e-commerce.
