NEXT GENERATION ARCHITECTURAL STRATEGIES FOR SCALABLE HEALTHCARE APPLICATIONS: A MICROSERVICES CLOUD COMPUTING APPROACH

Abstract

Digital technology's fast development has greatly changed the healthcare industry by demanding scalable, safe, interoperable software solutions. This work investigates how cloud computing and microservices architecture may be combined to create next-generation healthcare apps. Microservices improve scalability, maintainability, and fault tolerance by allowing the breakdown of complicated healthcare systems into separately deployable components. When coupled with cloud computing, these systems gain flexible infrastructure, cost effectiveness, real-time data processing, and compliance with rigorous data security rules including HIPAA and GDPR. The paper addresses important elements, advantages, and difficulties of using microservices in healthcare together with cloud-based approaches supporting elastic scalability, interoperability, and AI-driven analytics. This integrated architectural strategy builds a strong basis for providing responsive, dependable, and patient-centric healthcare services and promotes innovation.
