What methods of interaction between services have you used besides REST?

Answer from AI
In addition to REST, I used:
- gRPC — an efficient protocol supporting streaming and contract-based descriptions via protobuf.
- Message brokers (RabbitMQ, Kafka) — for asynchronous message exchange and event-driven architecture.
- SOAP — in projects with legacy services.
- WebSocket — for bidirectional real-time communication.
- GraphQL — for flexible data querying from a single endpoint.
The choice depends on requirements for synchrony, performance, and integration complexity.
