e-Control: Electronic Attendance Control System for Multi-Condition Class using Microservices Architecture Development Methods

Abstract

One of the impacts from Covid-19 is the school & lectures must be held online. There are many applications that used to do online lectures as the alternative way of face-to-face lectures such as Zoom and Google Meet. In this multi conditional school lectures (offline & online), both of the electronic or manual attendance system caused delay of control. e-Control (digitalized attendance system) is a system for controlling and recording the attendance of students and lecturers in a lecture using architectural microservices development method is made without hardware. This system was created starting from making a prototype design using figma, creating a database using phpmyadmin, followed by making an API gateway and API services on the backend using visual code studio, and creating a frontend system using android studio. The attendance system with the fingerprint-based attendance device on android uses and Google Maps as locator that has 2 functions, named as an online attendance system and an offline attendance system, and has 2 features in it, named absence and history. e-Control works well, because it shows the results of observations in testing data transmission to the server resulting in a data transmission time delay of only 0.344 seconds. The results of making e-Control are intended for students and lecturers whose data has been arranged in the database and fingerprint has been set on the android system. This system is also targeted for students and lecturer, the system has already been set in database and fingerprint in the android system as well.
