4. Question #4

   Universal Containers has a microservices architecture on Heroku. One microservice. named the Metrics Microservice. periodically fetches metrics from a fleet of loT sensors. Then, the Metrics Microservice is required to send relevant metrics to each of the other microservices using REST. When a new microservice is added to the architecture, the Metrics Microservice must send metrics to that new microservice too. As a result, adding microservices to the architecture causes performance issues. How should an Architect recommend changing this architecture to improve its scalability?

   • A. Configure each microservices to directly fetch the sensor metrics that are relevant to it.
   • B. Use Private Space DNS Service Discovery to reduce the amountof time required for the Metrics Microservice to obtain each other microservice's IP address
   • C. Configure the other microservices to pull the Metrics Microservice for updates every five seconds
   • D. Use Apache Kafka on Heroku to publish metrics to a topic that the other microservices can consume.
