Arquitectura de microservicios para un sistema recomendador de seguros para mascotas en Bogotá

Abstract

The generational shift in Bogotá has brought new habits regarding pet ownership. This transition has evolved from an individual to a social phenomenon, becoming a characteristic of contemporary societies. Professor Myriam Acero from the National University of Colombia mentions in her book La familia multi especie, perros y gatos compañeros that "The traditional concept of the human family has changed: now, besides conjugal families, there are many other forms of union that are also categorized as family. Considering that affective bonds are also established with other species, companion animals are being recognized as part of the so-called multi-species family." The inclusion of certain types of pets in the family circle is significant. According to the results of the multipurpose survey conducted by DANE (National Department of Statistics) in Bogotá and Cundinamarca for the year 2021, 40.2% of households reported having pets, with 65.8% of them owning dogs and 43.7% owning cats. The need for pet owners to insure their pets has led to the emergence of insurance offerings. To facilitate the ability to view and compare different options, a recommendation system is the best solution. This document explains the design of an architecture for a pet insurance recommendation system in Bogotá.
