Abstract:
Microservices Architectures (MSA) have become increasingly popular due to their ability to implement new requirements, enhancing organizational competitiveness quickly. However, their integration with legacy systems poses significant challenges, especially in industries like insurance, where green field projects are rare. This research addresses the complexities of integrating microservices with Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and third-party systems, such as SAP, with specific requirements (e.g., release cycles, versioning). While complete migration to MSA is unrealistic in the Insurance Industry, targeted improvements and partial replacements are achievable. Integration must also account for existing Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)-based infrastructures. Building on previous work, we developed RaMicsV, a logical reference architecture, and its technical implementation, T-RaMicsV. This paper expands on earlier findings by providing a detailed exploration of integrating microservices with ESB-based SOA environments. The results offer practical insights into adapting microservices for insurance companies, focusing on logging, monitoring, security, workflows, and choreographies while maintaining legacy system compatibility.
