Asynchronous Programming with Thread Pools
In my previous post, I described strategies for improving thread utilization in an IO-heavy environment. I will take a closer look at the thread-
Overcoming IO overhead in micro-services
One of the biggest overheads of adopting a micro-service architecture is the cost of inter-service communication. The overhead comes in many forms : the
