Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - What Is Changed for Communications Between Monolithic t

The video tutorial discusses the transition from monolithic to microservice architectures, focusing on the communication mechanisms involved. It explains how monolithic applications use entire process communication, leading to tightly coupled components. The shift to microservices requires changing to network-level communication protocols like HTTP, GRPC, and AMQP. Microservices are independently developed and deployed, necessitating careful design of communication types. The video emphasizes the importance of asynchronous communication and well-defined APIs for synchronous interactions. It also highlights microservice characteristics such as smart endpoints and decoupling business logic. Finally, it classifies communication protocols into synchronous and asynchronous types, setting the stage for further exploration in the next video.
