Abstract

Latency in real-time communication systems, particularly those handling voice and video, significantly affects the quality of user experience. Scalability and modularity are possible with microservices architectures, but their distributed nature causes extra latency problems even now. Together with concepts for delay minimization, the reasons of latency in microservices-based audio and video communication systems are explored here. Apart from methods like edge computing, adaptive bitrate streaming, and protocol optimizations, including gRPC, architectural improvements have been studied, like dynamic scaling and caching. The proposed approaches aim to maximize network connectivity, processing times, and media handling even while they address crucial problems in state synchronization and resource management. While applying different latency decreasing techniques jointly, microservices can keep high speed and scalability for satisfying the needs of real-time communication systems.
