My condolences! > no direct communication between services How does indirect communication work?

  I suppose they mean asynchronous communication through a message broker/queue?

    Yep, exactly.

  Is no direct communication between microservices necessarily a bad thing? I've made a few similar design decisions in our tech stack, we have no "direct communication" between microservices, discounting the shared database. Microservices communicate through the use of RabbitMQ. We build our system around the premise of eventual consistency, thus reducing the need of blocking computations. So-far this has served us rather well.

    All has pros and cons. Here it is (async) central simple central communication vs central point of failure I guess.
