Simple, Scalable, and Robust — If you‘re not familiar with the basics of an event-based microservice architecture, you should check out this Event-based Microservices: Overview post. What’s the problem? When a system is distributed (like a microservice-based system) along with the advantages comes the potential for errors. Examples include: connectivity issues, serialization/deserialization issues, downstream system outages, peer system…

Simple, Scalable, and Robust — A message bus (or event bus) solves the problem of how microservices communicate with each other. This sounds like a problem that could be solved using simple direct connections, but there are challenges that would come along with that solution. …
