Summary
In this chapter, we have learned a lot about microservices, how to communicate with APIs in microservices, and how different services interact with each other to fulfill business processes. Data contracts define how data is structured and exchanged between microservices.
In summary, effective API communication and data contracts are foundational to the success of microservices. They contribute to system flexibility, maintainability, and the ability to scale in complex, distributed architectures.
In the next chapter, we are going to learn about caching and asynchronous messaging in microservices.
