Эффективность фреймворков для передачи информации в виртуализированной сети связи с микросервисной архитектурой

Abstract

Different information system designs are moving from a classical monolithic network architecture to a microservice one. Therefore, there is a need to set requirements to the performance of interconnection between microservices, which are implemented using various frameworks. The aim of this study is to make a comparative analysis of frameworks for data transmission in a microservice architecture according to several criteria as well as to develop recommendations for effective selection of tools for microservice communication. The results of the study include a comparative analysis of RPC frameworks by the following criteria: the availability of a registration centre, the availability of built-in framework-level security features, the main serialization technologies, the ability to balance the load. An experimental stand was developed; it was used to measure time delays and to make their comparative analysis while transmitting different data workload. When small amounts of information are transferred, the values obtained indicate that the RPCX framework has the lowest latency for a remote procedure call, while Apache Dubbo, on the contrary, has the highest latency. When the transfer type switches from unary calls to streaming, the latency decreases.
