Q18 / 100
What is the difference between "synchronous" and "asynchronous" communication between services?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) In synchronous communication, the caller waits for a response before continuing; in asynchronous communication, the caller continues without waiting for an immediate response
A
Correct Answer
In synchronous communication, the caller waits for a response before continuing; in asynchronous communication, the caller continues without waiting for an immediate response
Explanation
Synchronous calls (like typical HTTP requests) block until a response arrives, while asynchronous communication (like message queues) lets the caller proceed and handle the result later.
