Troubleshooting microservices performance problems

Source:- techtarget.com Using microservices to build applications can significantly improve developer productivity, project agility and code reuse. However, the resulting architecture is more complex, which makes isolating and debugging performance problems much harder. As we discussed in an earlier article, analyzing and managing microservice performance is a “two-level problem comprising both granular telemetry of individual microservices and comprehensive, end-to-end, pan-application measurement. Microservice telemetry is used to identify internal bottlenecks, inefficiencies and bugs while application-wide monitoring seeks to see performance from
