Methods of building microservice architecture of e-learning systems

Yevhen Palamarchuk

The basic principles of organization of microservice architectures (MSA), their parameters, functioning and application in electronic learning systems (ELS) are considered. A comparative analysis of MSA construction options, their components and methods was done. A complex method of building e-learning systems based on MSA is proposed. The microservice architecture of the electronic educational system of Vinnytsia National Technical University JetIQ has been developed and implemented. The expediency of using a domain organization for individual subsystems of ELS is substantiated
