Microservices Architecture for Improved Maintainability and Traceability in MVC-Based E-Learning Platforms: RoadMap for Future Developments

E-learning platforms often struggle with maintainability and traceability due to the traditionally employed monolithic architecture. Such websites are faced with managing complex codebases and tracking user interactions and system behaviors efficiently. These challenges are met by migrating to microservices architecture which permits modularization as well as autonomy of components by developers. This paper demonstrates how microservices can improve maintainability by allowing independent deployment, scaling up or down, upgrading services, and fostering traceability via distributed monitoring and logging systems. This can be demonstrated by analyzing a case of transitioning an MVC-based e-learning platform to microservices and showing how this could offer practical insights for sustainable development practices that optimize user experiences.
