Implementation and Testing of Microservice Architecture on an E-Commerce Platform Using Docker and Kubernetes

Abstract

E-commerce platforms continue to grow rapidly, requiring systems that are scalable, reliable, and able to adapt to sudden increases in user demand. To meet these requirements, this study aims to implement and evaluate a microservices-based ecommerce platform using Docker and Kubernetes. The research method follows four stages: identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The system design consists of three independent services—User Service, Product Service, and Payment Service—integrated through REST APIs and deployed in a Kubernetes cluster with containerization provided by Docker. Through functional and performance testing, the study is expected to demonstrate that the proposed microservices architecture can provide low latency, improved scalability, and high system reliability to support e-commerce operations.
