Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Microservices Asynchronous Communication

The video tutorial explains the differences between synchronous and asynchronous communication in microservices. Synchronous communication is suitable for interactions between a few microservices, using protocols like HTTP and GRPC. However, it can lead to bottlenecks when multiple services are involved. Asynchronous communication, using protocols like AMQP and message broker systems such as Kafka, allows services to interact without waiting for responses, reducing coupling and improving system efficiency. The tutorial highlights the benefits of asynchronous communication in microservice architectures.
