Microservices communicate through standard communication protocols, which facilitate the exchange of data between independently deployed services. This modular approach allows different microservices, often developed using various technologies or programming languages, to interact seamlessly. By utilizing standardized protocols such as HTTP/REST, gRPC, or message brokers like RabbitMQ or Kafka, microservices can send and receive requests and responses efficiently over the network. The reliance on standard communication protocols enables greater flexibility and scalability, as developers can build and deploy microservices independently, allowing the architecture to evolve and adapt more readily to changing requirements. This contrasts with options like direct hardware connections, shared memory resources, or monolithic data management systems, which do not align with the fundamental principles of microservices architecture that prioritize loose coupling and independence.
