Microservices, as a paradigm for deploying applications, have popularized many new software creation and distribution approaches. Microservice architectures are built from several loosely coupled components, are usually implemented in containers and are orchestrated and dynamically provisioned; such technologies provide clear advantages in terms of flexibility, expandability, and sustainability. However, the fact is that the implementation of microservices has certain problems, such as performance problems, security problems, and cost problems, which exist inherently in the microservices architecture. This paper aims to discuss and provide holistic approaches for improving efficiency, making the architecture more secure, and reducing the costs of microservices systems in the cloud environment. It further elaborates on each of these factors, along with the backing of scientific support and real-life experiences of cloud service providers before 2023. Microservices and cloud native characteristics: In this paper, we first briefly introduce microservices. When presenting the key technologies in the survey, the advancements in microservice technologies such as container orchestration platform, service mesh, and distributed tracing system- will be highlighted with the help of tools such as Kubernetes, istio, and jaeger, among others. Optimisation for Performance: Aspects such as load balancing, communication models involving the asynchronous model, and resource autoscaling are discussed further. Shield features focused are employments on zero-trust architecture, API gateway optimization, and container image. He develops rightsizing procedures for cost optimization and uses spot instances as well as FinOps frameworks. The results of the experiments are provided, and the real-world scenario with 30 percent cost savings and 45 percent lower latency in the e-commerce site after the optimization is presented. The paper also presents prospective studies on topics such as serverless and the role of AI in observability
