Exploring asynchronous communication

You can implement asynchronous communication between microservices using various patterns and technologies, each suitable for different use cases and requirements. Here are some of the common ones:

• Message brokers: Message brokers facilitate asynchronous communication by allowing microservices to publish and subscribe to messages. Popular message brokers include RabbitMQ, which supports multiple messaging protocols and patterns such as pub/sub and routing, and Apache Kafka, designed for high-throughput and fault-tolerant event streaming – one of the best choices for real-time data processing. An example of a message broker would be a producer service sending a message to a queue or topic and the consumer service subscribing to the queue or topic and processing messages.
• Event streaming platforms: Event streaming platforms capture and process streams of events. These platforms are particularly useful for real-time analytics and...
