Abstract

This paper chronicles the transformative journey of

an image-filtering web application, evolving from a monolithic

architecture to a microservices-based ecosystem. The paper

utilizes modern technologies such as Docker containerization,

Kubernetes orchestration, and Amazon web services (AWS),

enhancing functionality, scalability, and maintainability. Key

achievements include successfully implementing a microservices

architecture, seamless Docker containerization, and efficient

orchestration with Kubernetes. Integration with AWS CodeBuild

automates the continuous integration pipeline, while cloud

services like Amazon simple storage service (S3) and Amazon

relational database service (RDS) contribute to scalability.

Security measures and best practices, including environment

variable management and Kubernetes Secrets, are meticulously

implemented to safeguard sensitive information. The paper not

only highlights the accomplishments but also explores future

possibilities. Feature expansions, optimization strategies, and the

exploration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence/

machine learning (AI/ML) and blockchain are identified

as avenues for future work.

Index Terms—Microservices, docker containerization, Kubernetes

orchestration, amazon web services (AWS), continuous integration,

amazon simple storage service (S3), amazon relational

database service (RDS), security measures, environment variable

management, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML).
