Cloud-native microservices architecture to support the scalability of the traditional village tourism platform in Bali
Keywords:
cloud-native, microservices architecture, scalability, tourism platform, traditional villageAbstract
Tourism based on local communities in Bali’s traditional villages requires technological support to optimally develop. Digital tourism platforms for these villages in the era of digital transformation must handle surges in users and information requests, especially during holidays or special events. A microservices architecture with a cloud-native approach is proposed as a solution to improve platform scalability and reliability. This study is a literature review that analyzes the microservices and cloud-native architecture concepts in the context of village tourism platforms. Microservices is an architectural style that breaks down an application into small services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. This approach, supported by cloud computing, allows tourism platforms to adjust service capacity in real-time according to load, avoiding system failures during traffic spikes. A conceptual case study in Bali’s traditional villages shows that a cloud-native microservices architecture can enhance feature development flexibility, ease of integrating external services, and maintain system availability even if one component encounters issues. The results of this study are expected to inform the design of modern, scalable, and resilient tourism platforms for traditional villages, thereby supporting empowerment and self-reliance in community-based tourism management.
