Description:

In commerce, every millisecond of additional response time costs money due to lost sales. Microservices is now the de-facto standard for commerce platforms but the distributed nature of microservices introduces challenges that can quickly kill performance. The hundreds of microservices that compose a commerce platform may be separated by thousands of milliseconds of latency, yet end-users of the platform expect responses from dozens of microservices within a few hundred milliseconds. With a little work and some proper architecture, your microservices-based commerce platform can be as or even faster than the old monolithic applications of years past.

In this webcast you will learn:

  • Patterns to avoid synchronous calls between microservices
  • Auto-scaling techniques that are specific to microservices
  • Optimal deployment patterns that make best of use modern public clouds
  • Tips up and down the stack to squeeze the last millisecond out of your response times
