Performance analysis of microservice architecture

Abstract

Microservices embody a paradigmatic shift toward modularity, scalability, and flexibility in software development. At the very core of microservice architecture lies the principle of decomposition, breaking down complex applications into a network of smaller, independent services. The main principles of microservice infrastructure are as follows: modularity, service independence, decentralized data management, automation of deployment processes and service lifecycle management, and the distributed nature of microservices. Overall, microservice architecture provides high scalability, flexibility, and reliability; however, it is accompanied by significant management complexity, increased infrastructure costs, and the need for a well-thoughtout approach to inter-service communication. Designing a microservice architecture involves the use of concepts and methodologies that ensure effective distribution of functionality among services and optimal interaction between them. The choice of architectural style is determined by the specifics of business logic, performance requirements, and operational characteristics. This report examines the key principles of microservice architecture, its advantages and disadvantages, as well as approaches to designing microservice-based systems. The application of microservice and monolitic architectures to energy efficiency monitoring systems, robotics, and remote learning systems is presented.
