This document provides an overview of inter-service communication in microservices architectures. It discusses the need for services to communicate and share information. It describes synchronous vs asynchronous communication styles and tools that can be used for each like REST, gRPC, RabbitMQ and Kafka. It provides examples of use cases for both centralized and event-driven service orchestration in the telecom and infrastructure domains. References for further reading on microservices and communication patterns are also included.
