ABOUT THE EPISODE
This episode follows up on the subject of challenges in asynchronous communication which was started in episode #009 🧵. Join us for another journey into the depths of this domain!
TOPICS COVERED
In episode #010, in which we dug deeper into the ground of Asynchronous Communication, talking about:
🔢 How we can deal with "out of order" processing? Is it the responsibility of the transport layer only?
📬 How to ensure the message delivery? What strategies are used by message brokers to give us some guarantees? How does using those strategies affects a producer and a consumer code?
⏱ Using Asynchronous Communication in long-running business processes and how to make it blend into the synchronous APIs environment?
That's not all the concerns one needs to consider when implementing Asynchronous Communication. We intend to follow up on this in future!
