When you move from the traditional three-tier or n-tier architecture to the microservices architecture, one main observable characteristic is the increased number of interconnections between microservice processes. A computation that once took place completely within a single process now might get split into many microcomputations spanning across processes. This increases the number of interprocess communications, the number of context switches, the number of I/O operations involved, and so on. So it makes right sense to have a look at these aspects in more detail. In this chapter, you will explore a few performance aspects to be considered in microservices and you will look into the following:
