Abstract

The educational access gap between hinterland and urban areas often creates disparities in educational opportunities and economic development. E-learning can reduce the isolation of remote regions by providing access to information and learning. Microservices architecture can enhance efficiency in education delivery. This research aims to develop a prototype of microservices architecture and API Gateway integration in an eLearning platform. The research methodology involves prototype design, data modeling, software development, integration with the eLearning platform, and performance testing. The results of the study demonstrate that the integration of microservices architecture and API Gateway improves platform flexibility and scalability, enabling users in hinterland areas to access online education more effectively, overcoming infrastructure constraints, and opening new opportunities for inclusive and effective education delivery.
