Distributed information systems in e-commerce

Abstract

The article discusses the basic requirements for electronic commerce information systems that support business. The features of the modular design of electronic trade information systems are characterized and the advantages and disadvantages of independently developed information-but-computational resources are determined. The expediency of using distributed information systems for electronic trade tasks is justified. The concept of distributed information systems involves the use of various technologies and protocols to ensure the availability, reliability, and scalability of the system. The architecture of a distributed information system involves the creation of a system with distributed components that interact using standard interfaces and use various technologies for communications. The prospects for the use of distributed information systems are determined and the advantages of using a distributed architecture are analyzed. The article studies the stages of building the architecture of a distributed information system and defines its main components. The architecture of distributed systems can consist of such components as database servers, web servers, applications, security tools, and network equipment, and may vary depending on the specific system and its needs. The types of architectures of distributed information systems and the specifics and features of their application are determined. The article discusses microservices-oriented architecture (Microservices-Oriented Architecture, MOSA), the basic idea of which is that software is divided into small, autonomous microservices that interact with each other using APIs. The use of MOSA for electronic trade information systems allows for increasing the speed of development and implementation of additional functions and ensures scalability and resistance to failures.
