What are some performance tuning and optimization techniques you would consider when developing an Akka HTTP-based microservice?
When developing an Akka HTTP-based microservice, consider these performance tuning and optimization techniques :
1. Connection Pooling : Utilize connection pools to manage multiple connections efficiently, reducing overhead and improving throughput.
2. Pipelining : Enable request pipelining to send multiple requests without waiting for responses, increasing concurrency.
3. Tuning Dispatcher : Configure the dispatcher thread pool size based on available resources and workload requirements.
4. Stream Processing : Use Akka Streams for backpressure control and efficient resource utilization during data processing.
5. Caching : Implement caching strategies to reduce latency and avoid redundant computations or network calls.
6. Monitoring and Metrics : Collect metrics using tools like Kamon or Lightbend Telemetry to identify bottlenecks and optimize accordingly.
