Performance Analysis of Interservice Communication in Microservices
Keywords:
Microservices, Interservice Communication, API Composition, API GatewayAbstract
Microservice architecture is a popular architecture for cloud-native software applications. Microservices are loosely coupled, and each service is responsible for its data. However, when it comes to data retrieval that requires information from different data sources, microservices need to communicate with each other. There are several approaches to address this requirement. In this paper, we implemented two approaches of interservice communication and compared their performance. We have also highlighted benefits and drawbacks of each approach and introduced some alternatives.
