Kafka vs REST in Microservices 🔥 | Why Event-Driven Wins ⚡ | Spring Boot

🔁 REST vs Kafka in Microservices – Which one should you use? In this quick Spring Boot example, see how event-driven architecture (with Kafka) solves the problem of tight coupling between microservices. 💡 Use case: 🧑‍💻 User Registration Service ➝ sends event to Kafka 📬 Email Notification Service ➝ listens to Kafka and sends email Unlike REST, where services directly call each other, Kafka decouples the communication — making your system more resilient, scalable, and fault-tolerant. #microservices #eventdrivenarchitecture #springboot #kafka
