ADVANCED CLOUD COMPUTING STRATEGIES: ACHIEVING OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE OF MICROSERVICES IN THE CLOUD
Keywords:
Cloud Computing, Microservices, Performance Optimization, Performance Engineering, ScalabilityAbstract
In recent times, the concept of microservices architecture has gained significant momentum, primarily because it promises greater scalability and flexibility, aspects that are crucial in the fast-evolving digital landscape. However, this promise is coupled with substantial challenges, especially when it comes to optimizing the performance of these microservices within the realm of cloud computing environments. This paper embarks on an extensive journey to uncover methods of boosting both the efficiency and overall performance of microservices. By diving deep into pertinent data and bringing to light various illustrative case studies, we unveil new techniques and outline the best practices within the domain of performance engineering for microservices. The valuable insights obtained from this exploration aim to serve developers and architects with actionable advice and strategies to fine-tune the performance of their microservices. This, in turn, is expected to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of cloud computing services significantly.
