Learn how to write reactive Java microservices using MicroProfile Reactive Messaging.
You will learn how to build reactive microservices that can send requests to other microservices, and asynchronously receive and process the responses. You will use an external messaging system to handle the asynchronous messages that are sent and received between the microservices as streams of events. MicroProfile Reactive Messaging makes it easy to write and configure your application to send, receive, and process the events efficiently.
Asynchronous communication between microservices can be used to build reactive and responsive applications. By decoupling the requests sent by a microservice from the responses that it receives, the microservice is not blocked from performing other tasks while waiting for the requested data to become available. Imagine asynchronous communication as a restaurant. A waiter might come to your table and take your order. While you are waiting for your food to be prepared, that waiter serves other tables and takes their orders too. When your food is ready, the waiter brings your food to the table and then continues to serve the other tables. If the waiter were to operate synchronously, they must take your order and then wait until they deliver your food before serving any other tables. In microservices, a request call from a REST client to another microservice can be time-consuming because the network might be slow, or the other service might be overwhelmed with requests and can’t respond quickly. But in an asynchronous system, the microservice sends a request to another microservice and continues to send other calls and to receive and process other responses until it receives a response to the original request.
