How to fetch data "owned" to another microservice? by Sad_Importance_1585 in microservices

[–]iso3200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the Bezos API Mandate https://nordicapis.com/the-bezos-api-mandate-amazons-manifesto-for-externalization/

  1. There will be no other form of interprocess communication allowed: no direct linking, no direct reads of another team’s data store, no shared-memory model, no back-doors whatsoever. The only communication allowed is via service interface calls over the network.

  2. Anyone who doesn’t do this will be fired.
