        abstract = {Inter-service communication (ISC) is a key part of microservice architecture. It allows different services to work together and complete complex business tasks. This paper reviews the main ISC methods, such as synchronous types like REST and gRPC, and asynchronous types like message queues. It also studies how these methods affect system performance, scalability, and fault tolerance by analyzing existing research and comparing various communication protocols and frameworks.  The paper provides strategic recommendations to guide architects in selecting the optimal ISC method to build robust, secure, and scalable microservice-based systems. The analysis concludes that the selection of an ISC strategy is highly context-dependent, with no universal solution, and that a hybrid approach is often necessary to meet the competing demands.},
