[AIAS-01] Architecture overview

The target system for the optimization study described in this guide is a Java-based microservice acting as authentication service for multiple digital applications all running on Kubernetes.

The reference architecture is illustrated by the following diagram. Notice that the load testing (JMeter) and monitoring (Elastic APM) tools, respectively used to load the target system and to collect the KPIs used in the optimization study.

The goal for this optimization study is to reduce the cost of the Kubernetes infrastructure.
