Diseño de una Arquitectura de Software basada en micro servicios para una empresa dedicada a la venta y distribución de servicios de energía eléctrica

Abstract

This project develops a technological modernization proposal through the adoption of a microservices-based architecture for a company dedicated to the distribution and sale of electricity. The initial analysis reveals a critical problem: current systems operate as large, monolithic blocks based on proprietary technologies that are now obsolete. This not only hinders scalability and interoperability but also drives up costs and leaves us vulnerable to security vulnerabilities. In short, this rigidity directly impacts operational efficiency and prevents us from responding promptly when demand grows. To address this problem, the project proposes the design of a target architecture based on microservices, supported by the Java ecosystem, with Spring Boot as the reference technology. The proposal focuses on defining a modular structure that allows for the decoupling of critical services, improving their scalability, availability, and resilience at a conceptual level. The architectural design is formulated under criteria of security, governance, and horizontal scalability, also incorporating guidelines for the automation of deployments and future operation, without addressing the actual implementation of the proposed solution. To ensure a smooth transition with minimal risk, it is recommended to use agile methodologies such as Scrum and adopt a DevOps culture that guarantees continuous delivery and monitoring. The report details both the technical design and the chosen tools, highlighting how this change will allow the organization to adapt more effectively, reduce dependencies, and pave the way for future technological expansions.
