Desarrollo de un sistema web basado en una arquitectura de microservicios para la generación de reportes de datos hidrometereológicos de las estaciones convencionales del INAMHI

Abstract

In this project, a web system was developed for the information management of the "Instituto Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología" of Ecuador, which consists of two modules, one for the generation of historical reports and the other for the validation of the meteorological calculations of the conventional stations of said entity. These modules will form part of a comprehensive information management system based on a microservices architecture. This architecture will facilitate the integration of all software in the future. The methodology followed for the development of the project was Scrum, using the ZenHub tool for the management of activities. Therefore, the first step was a feasibility analysis, which determined the technical, economic, and operational feasibility of the project. In this way, the requirements of the system were defined. Subsequently, the design of the UML diagrams of the application was made using the Visual Paradigm and Draw.io tools. Then, the construction of the application was carried out using the Django and React frameworks, for the BackEnd and FrontEnd, respectively. Finally, unit, stress, and load tests were performed that allowed one to observe the general behavior of the system. According to the unit test results, all requests made to the endpoints returned the requested data. Regarding the stress and load tests, the results show that the maximum number of users that could be connected simultaneously was 1782178 u/m. Although the tests were not taken to the limit, since the application will be for the exclusive use of INAMHI officials, that reduces access to a small number of users. In this way, the application is functional, and the requirement of the institution was fulfilled.
