In this second part of this book, we will start by using what we learned previously to design an effective microservice architecture by exploring these topics further and the correlation among them in detail.
As we discussed in Chapter 2, Why Is Messaging Important in the Microservice Architecture?, microservice architecture-based platforms have two main message flows called North-South traffic and East-West traffic. Sometimes, East-West traffic is also called inter-service communication in a microservice ...
