Research Title: Efficiency and Reliability Analysis of Microservices REST APIs in Spring and Laravel with Repository Design Pattern on AWS EC2 Abstract: Microservices architecture has emerged as a promising approach for developing scalable and modular software systems. This research investigates the efficiency and reliability of Microservices REST APIs developed using the Spring and Laravel frameworks, incorporating the Repository Design Pattern. The study entails rigorous performance testing, load testing, and deployment onto an AWS EC2 Linux server running Ubuntu 2022 LTS to assess real-world behavior under varying conditions. The primary objective is to identify the framework that offers better efficiency and reliability, evaluate the impact of the Repository Design Pattern, and provide actionable insights for developers considering Microservices architecture. Introduction: Microservices architecture has gained significant traction in recent years due to its ability to address the challenges of monolithic applications, such as scalability, modularity, and independent deployment. However, ensuring the efficiency and reliability of Microservices APIs is crucial for the success of applications built on this architecture. This research aims to address this concern by conducting a comprehensive analysis of Microservices REST APIs developed using two popular frameworks: Spring and Laravel. Additionally, the research examines the impact of the Repository Design Pattern on code maintainability and scalability within the Microservices architecture. Deploying these Microservices onto AWS EC2 provides insights into real-world performance and scalability considerations. Problem Statement: While Microservices architecture offers numerous benefits, including scalability and modularity, challenges remain in ensuring the efficiency and reliability of Microservices APIs. Limited research exists that directly compares the performance of Spring and Laravel frameworks in the context of Microservices development. Furthermore, the impact of the Repository Design Pattern on efficiency, reliability, and scalability within these frameworks needs to be better understood. This research aims to fill these gaps by conducting a comparative analysis of Spring and Laravel frameworks and evaluating the efficacy of the Repository Design Pattern in Microservices development. Objectives/Aims of Research: ● Evaluate the efficiency of Microservices REST APIs developed using Spring and Laravel frameworks. ● Analyze these APIs' reliability and fault tolerance under varying loads and stress conditions. ● Assess the impact of the Repository Design Pattern on code maintainability and scalability within the Microservices architecture. ● Deploy the developed Microservices onto AWS EC2 with Ubuntu 2022 LTS and conduct comprehensive performance testing in a production-like environment. ● Provide insights and recommendations for developers and organizations considering Microservices architecture for their projects. Literature Review: The existing literature on Microservices architecture predominantly focuses on its benefits and challenges, with limited research directly comparing the performance of Spring and Laravel frameworks for Microservices development. However, several studies have explored the efficiency and reliability of individual frameworks in other contexts. For example, research comparing Spring Boot and ReactJS with other web development frameworks highlights the performance advantages of Spring Boot in certain scenarios (Reference 1). Similarly, a comparative analysis of Spring MVC and Spring WebFlux sheds light on the performance characteristics of different Spring modules (Reference 3). Despite these contributions, there is a notable gap in research specifically addressing the efficiency and reliability of Microservices REST APIs developed using Spring and Laravel frameworks. This research aims to address this gap by conducting a comparative analysis of these frameworks in a Microservices context, with a particular focus on performance, reliability, and scalability metrics.
