Synopsis

Purpose – This paper explores the design and implementation of a secure and intelligent microservices-based architecture for machine learning (ML) applications using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques.

Design/methodology/approach – We propose a modular microservices architecture enhanced by AI-driven components such as autonomous security agents, smart load balancers, and dynamic service orchestration. The architecture is evaluated in terms of scalability, security, and ML model deployment efficiency.

Findings – Results indicate that AI-enhanced microservices enable faster model training, improved anomaly detection, and dynamic threat mitigation. The architecture demonstrates robustness under variable network loads and supports real-time model retraining.

Practical implications – The proposed architecture aids industries in deploying secure, scalable ML systems—crucial in finance, healthcare, and autonomous systems. Integrating AI at the system level strengthens cybersecurity and enhances operational efficiency.

Originality/value – This study is among the first to integrate intelligent security mechanisms with a microservices architecture tailored for ML operations, promoting a new standard for resilient AI-driven infrastructure.
