Microservices architecture is an approach to building distributed systems that involves breaking down a large application into smaller, loosely coupled services that communicate with each other through APIs. There are several communication protocols used in microservices architecture, including HTTP and gRPC. HTTP: HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a widely used protocol for communication between web applications and servers. In microservices architecture, HTTP is used for communication between services as it's a well-established and reliable protocol that's widely supported. HTTP is simple and easy to use, and it supports a wide range of data formats like JSON, XML, and plain text, making it a popular choice for microservices communication. gRPC: gRPC is a modern, high-performance, open-source protocol for communication between microservices. It uses Google's Protocol Buffers as a data format, which is a language-neutral, platform-neu...
