Great article, thanks for sharing Alexandro! Curious to know what your input is on Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) for microservices? Similar to what you mentioned, REST based APIs are a terrible idea for a microservices architecture and you advice taking the gRPC route, however EDA also uses messaging APIs. In my opinion, issues with gRPC will rise when interoperability is needed with other protocols. Using a message broker in the architecture would allow for an EDA implementation.

Disclosure: I work for Solace, a leader in the field of EDA and has a PubSub+ Event Broker product that facilitates messaging.
