Designing a Microservices Architecture for Digitalizing Inventory and Production Management in Home Industries: A Case Study of Dazry Harapan

Abstract

The Home Industry (IRT) sector, a backbone of Indonesia's economy, faces significant operational challenges due to manual processes and a lack of technology adoption. A case study on Dazry Harapan IRT reveals inefficiencies in inventory and production management that hinder growth. This research aims to design a microservices architecture as a digital solution to address these issues. Utilizing a Design Science Research (DSR) approach, the system is decomposed into independent microservices such as Inventory, Production, Order, User, and Reporting, each with decentralized databases and communicating via an API Gateway. The adoption of a polyglot programming approach (Go Lang for high performance and Laravel for rapid development), along with an intuitive React.js frontend, is proposed for resource efficiency and ease of use. This design is expected to enhance operational efficiency, data accuracy, scalability, and system resilience, providing a realistic and affordable blueprint for UMKM digital transformation. This research contributes by demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of advanced architectures at the UMKM scale.
