Chapter Conclusion

Summary #

• Asynchronous communication should be preferred over synchronous communication between microservices due to the advantages concerning resilience and decoupling.

• The only reason against this is inconsistency. Therefore, it is important to know exactly what the requirements are, especially concerning consistency, in order to make the technically correct decision.

• Choosing asynchronous communication has the potential to solve the essential challenges of the microservices architecture and should, therefore, be considered in any case.
