Case: Software build with many microservices and internal services.

The doubt is how to manage performance issues (network latency, size of resource) getting multiple resources from many microservices at once.

I Just can not imagine making 20 HTTP requests to access all necessary resources.

  • If you need to somehow query a result from 20 services, then you somehow have to make requests to 20 services... You could try to approach this in an asynchronous way to reduce the waiting time. – arkascha Feb 09 '16 at 08:07

In order to reduce the number of requests made you might create a facade that encapsulates incoming API calls. This enables you to get rid of expensive network roundtrips.
