Design of decision support system service in the Space Science Center using microservices approach

Abstract

Development of the Decision Support Systems (DSS) has been written up in the Space Science Center's roadmap for the next few years. The main programs have to be achieved such as related to the DSS are Space Weather, HF Radio Communication, Space Debris Monitoring, and Navigation activities. Of course, accessing those DSS services separately may become a problem for users who need information as fast as possible. We proposed an information system as a portal to integrate all DSS services collecting the latest information from each main program. We applied the microservice approach for design of this Information System prototype, which will it grows up as the modern application model that is capable to handle multiple features, high scalability but still lightweight. Microservices approach is a method that breaks an application into a single-function module for optimizing its performance. In addition, usage of web service technology and REST-ful API also can support system interoperability functions. In this design we conducted several stages, use case Diagrams, design of microservices database, and prototyping frontend pages in the results. This study purposes to provide an initial system design with a detailed explanation of specification requirements so that the design of the Decision Support System Service in the Space Science Center environment can be developed as expected.
