Chapter 5: Integrating Microservices Using Event-Driven Architecture

The essence of microservice architecture is breaking a monolith down into decoupled or loosely coupled microservices. As a result of such a decomposition into microservices, we separate the user and/or business concerns owned by each microservice. However, for an application as a whole, all the microservices need to work together by interacting with each other in executing and serving the user requests. Event-driven architecture has gained popularity in addressing these inter-microservices interactions.

In this chapter, we will explore how we can implement an event-driven architecture in the Micronaut framework. We will dive into the following topics:
