Why Microservices Make Performance Worse (If Done Wrong)

How breaking your system into services can increase complexity and slow everything down In the previous part , we discussed how to design systems that survive under pressure. Microservices are often seen as a solution to scaling and reliability. But in practice, many systems become slower and harder to manage after moving to microservices. The problem is not microservices themselves. The problem is how they are used. Too many network calls In a monolithic system, components communicate in memory
