Answer from AI
Interaction between different services in a system can be carried out using the following methods:
-
HTTP/REST API — the most common way, where services exchange data via HTTP requests using REST architecture.
-
gRPC — a high-performance remote procedure call protocol that uses Protocol Buffers for data serialization.
-
Messages through brokers (Message Queues) — for example, RabbitMQ, Kafka; services exchange asynchronous messages to improve reliability and scalability.
-
WebSocket — for bidirectional real-time communication.
-
Shared Database — services can interact through a common database, although this is less preferred due to coupling.
The choice of method depends on requirements for performance, reliability, asynchrony, and system architecture.
