Microservices can communicate using five key patterns based on their needs.

Message queues allow services to communicate asynchronously, improving scalability and reliability.

The Transactional Outbox Pattern ensures database updates and event publishing are synchronized to avoid losing events.

Queues distribute tasks to one consumer, while Pub/Sub broadcasts events to multiple subscribers.

The Saga Pattern manages distributed transactions using local transactions and compensating actions.

Backpressure helps manage message flow in Kafka during traffic spikes.

Classifying failures and using controlled retries in Kafka prevents outages.

The Bulkhead Pattern isolates resources to protect critical workloads from failures.

The Circuit Breaker pattern controls service calls to prevent failures from spreading.

Token Bucket allows burst traffic, while Leaky Bucket smooths out traffic flow.

Graceful shutdown in Kafka ensures no data loss during consumer termination.
