ARBA’s Microservices Cloud POS System on Azure stands out as the sole POS solution currently accessible for the industry we serve. It fully utilizes the intelligent cloud features offered by Azure, as it was purpose-built on the cloud. This sets it apart from legacy POS solutions that undergo migration to the cloud and are subsequently hosted there. Distinguishing factors of our Microservices POS Technology include flexibility, security, performance, uptime, and proactive support. These aspects differentiate it from the majority of other hospital, corporate retail, and cafeteria solutions available in today’s market.

The Future of POS: ARBA's Microservices Cloud POS System
The following are customer benefits to deploying ARBA’s POS Microservices Technology on Azure:
- Microservices POS technology architecture allows us to build applications where each service or function is built and deployed independently. The architecture is distributed where failure of one component will not break other components of the application, or the entire application. The individual components are designed to work together through communications with defined APIs. Microservices applications meet changing business requirements and can enable our customers to bring new features and functionalities to market faster.
- Microservices allows us to manage new releases with ease. Feature updates and fixes can be implemented in individual components without having to redeploy the entire application. Software delivery workflow can be automated to allow continuous deployment and integration.
- Microservices’ individual services and subsystems can be scaled without scaling the entire application. A single host can pack higher density of services using a container orchestrator like AKS (Azure Kubernates Service.)
- Individual services can be replaced or retired without affecting the entire application. The application model in Microservices can tolerate individual service failure without impacting the whole application, thereby improving reliability and security of the entire application suite.
- Each Microservice allows us to choose preferred deployment approach, language, platform and programming model. Microservices APIs can be published for internal and external consumption while managing concerns regarding authentication, authorization, caching, transformation, throttling and managing, with Azure API Management.
Additional Microservices Cloud POS System benefits include:
- Continuous Delivery and Deployment: Microservices allow for more frequent and efficient software releases. Each service can be developed, tested, and deployed independently, leading to faster delivery cycles.
- Better Scalability: Microservices enable horizontal scaling. You can scale individual services based on their specific needs, rather than scaling an entire monolithic application.
- Improved Fault Isolation: Since each microservice runs independently, failures in one service do not affect others. This isolation improves system reliability and resilience.
- Greater Flexibility: Microservices allow you to choose different technologies and programming languages for each service. This flexibility helps adapt to changing requirements.
- Smaller Development Teams: Cross-functional teams can work on individual microservices. Smaller teams lead to better collaboration, faster development, and easier maintenance.
- Higher Software Testability: Isolated microservices are easier to test. You can focus on specific functionality without affecting the entire system.
- Improved Maintainability: Microservices simplify maintenance. Updates or bug fixes can be applied to specific services without disrupting the entire application
