Naturally, reference architectures based on microservices come into mind as a valuable thing to utilize. Initial results for such architectures are published in generic and in domain-specific form. Missing to the best of our knowledge however, is a domain-specific reference architecture based on microservices, which takes into account specifics of the insurance industry domain. Jointly with partners from the German insurance industry, we take initial steps to fill this gap in the present article. Thus, we aim towards a microservices-based reference software architecture for (at least German) insurance companies. As the main results of this article we thus provide an initial such reference architecture together with a deeper look into two important parts of it.}, subject = {Versicherungswirtschaft}, language = {en} }
