In monolithic systems, many projects fail to be successful in the move to microservices architecture just because of problems in the communication layer. Of course, when we talk about containers, distributed applications, and business domain partitioning, some terms may amaze you—these terms are latency and data translation.

Communication in a monolithic application is made up of internal components, such as methods, functions, attributes, and parameters. In this ecosystem, latency and data translation are irrelevant. In the world of microservices, they are topics that must be thoroughly analyzed.

There are two methods of communication between microservices:

Synchronous

Asynchronous
