The rapid evolution of web applications has necessitated the adoption of architectures that ensure scalability, flexibility, and maintainability. Microservices architecture has emerged as a transformative approach, enabling the development of scalable web applications by decomposing monolithic systems into smaller, independent, and loosely coupled services. This research paper explores the design, implementation, and challenges associated with building scalable web applications using microservices architecture. It examines key principles such as service decomposition, API gateways, containerization, and orchestration tools like Kubernetes, which facilitate seamless scaling and deployment. Additionally, the paper highlights the benefits of microservices, including improved fault isolation, independent deployment, and technology heterogeneity, while addressing potential drawbacks such as increased complexity in monitoring and inter-service communication. Through a case study and performance analysis, this research demonstrates how microservices architecture can effectively support the development of scalable web applications, providing actionable insights for developers and organizations aiming to modernize their systems. The findings underscore the importance of strategic planning and robust DevOps practices in successfully leveraging microservices for scalable web application development.
