Abstract
Health and fitness platform that are based on traditional monolithic backends, including those containerized for deployment simplicity, often face scalability and cost challenges under these abrupt load spikes. This paper investigates a domain-driven microservices decomposition strategy suitable for health and fitness apps—dividing functions into discrete services such as workouts, user profiles, and social features, interconnected by event-driven communication. The approach is compared analytically against a container-based monolithic architecture in terms of elastic autoscaling, cost efficiency, and resilience. The study presents architecture and subsystem flow diagrams, reviews related industrial and academic work, and analyzes implementation strategies, evaluation metrics, and technical challenges. The findings indicate that while microservices introduce meaningful operational complexity, they provide superior elasticity and cost benefits for health and fitness platforms experiencing unpredictable user surges.
