I've been working on a large-scale application and considering migrating from monolithic to microservices architecture. What are the real-world performance implications? Has anyone measured latency differences in production environments?

We migrated from monolith to microservices last year. Initial latency increased by ~20ms due to network calls, but we gained significant scalability. Key is proper service boundaries and async communication patterns.

Consider using service mesh like Istio for observability. We use distributed tracing with Jaeger to identify bottlenecks. Circuit breakers are essential for resilience.
