Asynchronous Communication
Microservices can communicate with each other asynchronously, allowing them to continue processing requests without waiting for a response. This can help reduce the impact of network delays on consistency.
What is eventual consistency between Microservices?
Eventual Consistency between microservices refers to the concept that, in a distributed system where data is replicated across multiple microservices or databases, eventual consistency is maintained over time. This means that while updates to data may not be immediately reflected across all microservices, they will eventually converge to a consistent state.
- In a microservices architecture, each microservice manages its own data store, and data may be replicated or cached across multiple microservices for performance and scalability reasons.
- However, ensuring that all copies of the data remain consistent can be challenging due to the distributed nature of the system and the potential for network delays, failures, or conflicts.
To achieve eventual consistency between microservices, various strategies, and techniques can be used, such as:
