Synchronous HTTP calls create temporal coupling . If Catalog service is down, Orders fail. Use Circuit Breaker pattern (e.g., Laravel Circuit Breaker cache driver). Step 4: Asynchronous Events (Using RabbitMQ) To avoid tight coupling, use events. When an order is placed, OrderService emits OrderPlaced event. CatalogService listens and reduces stock.

public function broadcastOn()

$catalogUrl = config('services.catalog.url') . "/api/products/$productId";

// app/Http/Middleware/JwtMiddleware.php public function handle($request, Closure $next)
