Theoretical Foundations of Microservices Communication Protocols

This exam evaluates the theoretical foundations of communication protocols utilized within microservices architecture. Candidates will articulate how these protocols operate and interact, underscoring the implications for system reliability and efficiency.

Understanding communication protocols is essential for designing effective distributed systems. Their role influences system performance, scalability, and overall architecture robustness, making this knowledge critical for practicing software engineers.

Candidates will be assessed on their ability to verbally articulate the nuances of various communication protocols, including REST, gRPC, and message brokers, as well as the implications of each on microservices interactions.

The exam also includes a discussion component where candidates may present case studies exemplifying the principles discussed, enhancing peer learning and encouraging a deeper understanding.
