Microservices Architecture Tutorial: MySQL + MongoDB + gRPC + JMeter Performance Testing
In this comprehensive tutorial, we explore microservices architecture patterns and hands-on implementation with real-world technologies.
📚 What You'll Learn:
• Architecture patterns: Monolith vs Microservices
• MySQL for persistent data storage
• MongoDB caching for performance optimization
• gRPC and Protobuf for efficient service communication
• HTTP/2 multiplexing for low-latency transport
• JMeter performance testing strategies
• P90 latency optimization techniques
🏗️ Project Overview:
Build a Movie Rating App with multiple microservices:
Movie Catalog Service
Ratings Service (MySQL)
Movie Info Service (with MongoDB caching)
Trending Movies Service (gRPC)
