Asynchronous and non-blocking communication and event-driven architecture
In this section, we’re going to learn about asynchronous and non-blocking communication along with event-driven architecture. Asynchronous and non-blocking communication, along with event-driven architecture, are crucial concepts in microservices that enable efficient, responsive, and loosely coupled interactions among services.
Let’s explore these concepts in more detail in the following subsections.
Asynchronous and non-blocking communication
In a microservices architecture, services often need to interact with one another to complete tasks. Asynchronous and non-blocking communication refers to the practice of allowing services to continue their operations without waiting for immediate responses from other services.
This approach offers several advantages, such as the following:
- Improved responsiveness: Asynchronous communication prevents services from being blocked while waiting...
