Creación de un sistema para la gestión de clínicas veterinarias utilizando una arquitectura basada en microservicios

Abstract

The automation of services in organizations or companies are applied with software which have a monolithic architecture, which is widely used for the development of management systems; but, when an internal failure occurs, it is forced to be out of service in its entirety. Due to these cases, a solution is to implement the microservices architecture. Currently, in the field of veterinary medicine, the lack of technological tools hinders the automation and efficient management of processes in clinics, forcing them to be executed manually. The purpose of this work is to automate the processes of a veterinary clinic by creating a web and mobile application using an architecture based on microservices for an elevated level of availability and scalability. The agile DevOps methodology was chosen for the development of this proposal. The system was also assessed against ISO/IEC 25010 to ensure an elevated level of satisfaction in terms of functionality, performance, reliability, and portability. The evaluation results demonstrated an elevated level of satisfaction with the functionality of both the web and mobile application, supported by surveys and 100% compliance of correctly implemented functions in the microservices. In addition, performance and reliability tests revealed a system capable of handling significant loads with high throughput and minimal error rate, showing good resilience even under moderate and heavy loads. While the web application obtained 90% performance, indicating its efficiency in interacting with users. Finally, the system demonstrated good portability across different browsers and devices. In conclusion, the creation of this system with microservices has proven to be efficient in key aspects.
