Abstract

Jenderal Soedirman (Unsoed) currently operates more than 30 monolithic information systems built with heterogeneous technology stacks, resulting in duplicate functionality, inconsistent user experience, and high maintenance costs. This study designs a modular, microservices‑based Super App architecture that integrates core academic services (KRS/KHS, transcript, student & lecturer attendance, lecturer activity log) and a parent/guardian monitoring feature. Using the Design Science Research (DSR) method, we (1) identified problems via a technology audit and problem–objective matrix; (2) designed the artifact with Domain‑Driven Design, C4 modelling, and API‑first contracts; (3) demonstrated a working prototype with API Gateway, SSO, and event‑driven notifications; (4) evaluated performance (<300 ms latency for 500–1000 concurrent users) and stakeholder impact; and (5) communicated results through this paper. The proposed architecture reduces integration complexity, supports zero‑downtime deployment, and enhances transparency for parents without violating consent and privacy. The validated blueprint provides a roadmap for transforming legacy campus systems into a scalable, observable, and governable Super App.
