Microservice communication techniques

The biggest communication challenge with microservices is establishing reliable and scalable connections between them. We use different techniques to handle microservices communication. It is worth mentioning that there are multiple techniques to achieve proper communication between microservices. However, in this chapter, we will only focus on the most popular ones, as well as the ones that we think are most important. Let’s explore these techniques together.

Introduction to APIs

In software development, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are important tools that help us avoid doing the same tasks over and over. APIs protect us from the complexities of our working environment and area of expertise, making it easier to manage complicated processes and ignore detailed domain knowledge. They encapsulate complexity, making it unnecessary to understand the underlying implementation details. APIs by themselves are black boxes that...
