Microservices Implementation for the Information System of Nuraksa Forest Park

Tahura Nuraksa, or community forest park, is a natural conservation area to collect natural or non-natural plants and animals used for science, education, cultivation, culture, tourism, and recreation. The Conservation Information System is a centralized and digital sustainable management of conservation data, geographical landscape data, vegetation, animal data, and other helpful information for the government, academics, and the public. So, preparing for sustainable system development with a microservice architecture model is essential, which allows for better scaling and faster development because each service/application can be used and updated separately. In this research, the design and implementation of the application module for Tahura, namely the tourist, flora, and fauna mapping system, was carried out using a microservices architecture, and it will become an example of system development in the long term for developing services and other features. The methodology used in this research adopts the Design Science Research Process for Information Systems (DSRP), with stages: Service Decomposition, Interprocess Communication, Transaction Management Data, and Application Design. The created application was built with the framework NExtJs and ReactJs for websites, Expo and React Native for mobile, databases PostgreSQL and MongoDB, also firebase, and Postman for service tests (GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods). Meanwhile, for future testing applications, use the black box technique, and Selenium IDE for website functionality. The results of microservices for this system are suitable in the following aspects: scalable, adaptable, deployable, and maintainable.
