Microservices Choreography
Microservices choreography is a design pattern for coordinating interactions between microservices in a distributed system, where each service independently reacts to events and communicates directly with others without a central orchestrator. It relies on event-driven communication, typically using message brokers or event streams, to enable services to collaborate asynchronously. This approach promotes loose coupling, scalability, and resilience by allowing services to operate autonomously based on published events.
Developers should use microservices choreography when building complex, scalable systems that require high autonomy and flexibility, such as e-commerce platforms, real-time analytics, or IoT applications. It is ideal for scenarios where services need to react to events independently, reducing bottlenecks and single points of failure compared to orchestration. This pattern is particularly beneficial in environments with dynamic workloads or when aiming for decentralized control and easier service evolution.
