In this lesson, we'll look at the definition of synchronous microservices and get a quick introduction to an example.

Introduction #

This chapter deals with the technical options for implementing synchronous microservices. Chapter 6 already introduced the term “synchronous microservices”.

A microservice is synchronous if it makes a request to other microservices while processing requests and waits for the result.

The logic to handle a request in the microservice might not depend on the result of a request to a different microservice.
