Uma arquitetura de microsserviços para uma aplicação de suporte ao acompanhamento pré-natal

Abstract

Prenatal care is essential as it aims to promote the safe and healthy development of pregnancy. The purpose of prenatal care is to ensure a healthy monitoring of pregnancy, reducing the risks related to pregnancy for the mother and baby. Prenatal care plays an important role in the detection, prevention and treatment of diseases. However, there are some factors that lead to a part of the population of pregnant women not performing the follow-up properly. With the constant evolution of computer science, social media and especially smartphones, people are increasingly using the internet as a source of information. In this way, applications developed for monitoring pregnancy have gained much notoriety by researchers who develop technologies for health. Faced with the need to develop scalable applications, with well-defined responsibilities, heterogeneity of languages and adaptives, the use of applications with a microservices architecture in the development industry has been growing. A microservices architectural model proves to be more efficient than the monolithic model, especially in the context of an application that needs to serve numerous users in real time, in addition a microservices architecture is more fault tolerant.
