Design of a public services platform for university management based on microservice architecture

With the booming development of mobile computing, cloud computing and complex business scales, cloud service platforms based on distributed architecture are urgently required. As higher education has rapidly expanded in the last decade, many universities’ information systems have struggled to maintain normal business operations. This paper explains one public services platform design for university management based on microservice architecture, particularly focusing on the load balancing problem and its optimization. As of now, the platform has been successfully running in several universities, significantly alleviating their business and operational problems.
