arxiv.org/abs/2610.30212 A Consolidated Deployment Edition of a Microservice Core-Banking Platform: Composing Services by Reference into Three Hosts
A paper compares two deployments of a multi-tenant .NET core-banking platform: nine separate AWS ECS Fargate tasks versus a consolidated edition with a single API host. In emulation, the consolidated edition showed 2.3 times the read throughput, under half the memory and 11-24% lower estimated compute cost, but a larger failure domain. Results come from an emulated deployment, not production AWS.
