Microservices Integration in Practice

You have seen how messaging middleware can play a key role in providing a bridge for microservices to communicate to each other in a loosely coupled manner. You have seen a few hands-on examples. Some engineers are still skeptical about whether they can use events and event paradigms for inter-microservices communication in comparison to the manner they use synchronous REST style. This chapter throws some light onto some of these issues. This chapter is hands on. It’s best if you read Chapter 4 before this chapter, so that you understand the basics of running examples over the event infrastructure. Although, the chapter does provide step-by-step instructions if you want to start with this chapter.
