Abstract : The exponential growth of digital commerce and online services has driven an urgent need for scalable and resilient architectures capable of handling high-volume order processing. Microservices architecture, in combination with cloud-native technologies, has emerged as a promising solution, enabling modular design, independent scaling, and fault isolation. This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art in scalable microservices for cloud-based order processing, highlighting architectural patterns, orchestration strategies, observability mechanisms, and AI-driven automation. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in throughput, latency, and reliability compared to monolithic architectures. However, challenges such as service orchestration complexity, data consistency, and intelligent scaling remain areas of ongoing research. This study concludes with future directions, including the integration of autonomous orchestration, edge-cloud synergy, and enhanced observability frameworks. By addressing these challenges, microservices architecture can unlock new possibilities for mission-critical, high-volume order processing in dynamic cloud environments [10][11][12][13][14][15].
