For example, an online retail software system comprises multiple distributed applications such as an order management application, catalog application, databases, and so on. To implement the business functionalities of an online retail system, it is required to have interconnectivity between those distributed applications.

With the advent of microservices architecture and cloud native architecture, conventional software applications that are built for multiple business capabilities are further segregated into a collection of fine-grained, autonomous, and business capability–oriented entities known as microservices. Therefore, a microservices-based software system also requires the microservices to be connected through the network using inter-process (or inter-service ...
