Challenges with Microservices Communication
While microservices architecture offers numerous benefits, it introduces complexities in managing communication between services. Traditional approaches like REST (Representational State Transfer) APIs often result in over-fetching or under-fetching of data, leading to inefficient network calls and increased latency.
Additionally, coordinating multiple REST endpoints for a single client request can be cumbersome and prone to errors.
GraphQL Federation with Microservices Architecture
In the realm of modern software development, microservices architecture has become a cornerstone for building scalable and maintainable applications. However, as the number of microservices grows within an ecosystem, managing communication between them can pose significant challenges.
This is where GraphQL Federation comes into play, offering a powerful solution for orchestrating data across distributed services seamlessly.
