In the post about: Is microservice architecture the silver bullet? we can find the explanation about why is not a good idea the microservice architecture to the following applications:
- real-time gaming
- low-latency trading
We define low-latency activity as strategies that respond to market events in the millisecond environment, the hallmark of proprietary trading by high-frequency traders though it could include other algorithmic activity as well
The downside to use microservice for the domain of that problems are:
- Latency Sensitive
- They need to store the state in memory
- Web Socket is needed
