This article is a case study of how we improved stability in our critical application. It’s mostly a technical analysis of what happens in fresh Java based instance, how JIT Compiler toyed with us at application start and how we learned to control it.
Microservices architecture has been given a lot of attention in recent years. You can find many articles defining what it is and explaining the difference between microservices and monolithic applications. Unfortunately, the dark side of the solution is rarely mentioned — such as its level of complexity and how difficult it is to design it correctly. Nevertheless, I would like to talk about my experience with microservices architecture. I hope that this article will help you avoid the mistakes I made and save time.
