- Abstract
Academic advising in higher education institutions plays an important role in supporting student success. However, the effectiveness of conventional practices is still hampered by several factors, such as the requirement for face-to-face meetings, inflexible schedules, and manual data recording, which is prone to inefficiency and data loss. To address these issues, this research proposes the development of a digital academic advising application that can overcome the constraints of time, location, and system scalability. The application was developed using a microservices architecture to ensure flexibility, ease of maintenance, and the ability of the system to grow as users and features increase. The system architecture consists of four main components: client application, API Gateway, microservices, and event bus. Each microservice handles a specific business domain and is built using Slim PHP, while inter-service communication is performed asynchronously using RabbitMQ. The client application, developed with Vue.js, provides an interface for students and lecturers to access online guidance, mentoring, and communication features. The result of this development is a microservices-based academic advising application that enables students to receive flexible guidance, improves data recording accuracy, and is capable of adapting to the institution's future needs.
