The transformation from monolithic to microservices architectures in e-commerce systems has gained significant traction as organizations seek enhanced scalability, resilience, and operational agility. This systematic review examines the current state of research on migrating monolithic e-commerce systems to microservices using event-driven architecture (EDA) approaches. Following PRISMA guidelines, we analyzed 11 relevant studies focusing on decomposition frameworks, migration methodologies, and implementation strategies specific to e-commerce contexts. Our findings reveal that event-driven architectures provide superior scalability and fault tolerance compared to traditional synchronous communication patterns, with asynchronous messaging showing 30-40% better performance under high load conditions. Key migration approaches include the Strangler Fig Pattern, Domain-Driven Design (DDD) decomposition, and process mining-based identification of service boundaries. However, challenges persist in data consistency management, service communication complexity, and organizational alignment during migration. The review identifies critical gaps in standardized metrics for evaluating migration success and limited tooling support for automated decomposition in e-commerce-specific contexts. This study contributes to the understanding of event-driven microservices migration patterns and provides actionable insights for practitioners undertaking e-commerce modernization initiatives.

ABSTRACT The online sales channel, encompassing various platforms such as e-commerce websites, online marketplaces, and social media, has redefined traditional commerce by providing businesses with diverse mediums to engage with consumers in the virtual sphere. These platforms function as channels for businesses, enabling them not just to display their products or services but also to facilitate smooth transactions by leveraging the pervasive connectivity of the internet. This study aims to assess the impact of online sales channels, specifically focusing on their influence on customer engagement and revenue generation. In order to collect data, a survey questionnaire was sent to seventy-five (75) entrepreneurs. However, only fifty-four (54) questionnaires were completed and used. Data were also collected from secondary sources. The findings from the study revealed that majority of entrepreneurs recognize the indispensability of online sales channels for the success of their business. Notably, businesses that strategically adopt and diversify these channels experience increased revenue and gain a competitive edge. Businesses are advised to prioritize and enhance their online presence based on the study's findings. Embracing comprehensive digital strategies, including websites and social media, is essential for success in today's dynamic business environment.
