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.
The drawing above illustrates this kind of ...
