I am designing an e-commerce application with microservice approach, using ORM(JPA) for data persistence for one of the microservice named OrderService. OrderService owns functionality related to persisting and reporting orders, which essentially include customer and product information. Customer and product functionality is managed by different microservices. My question is at ORM layer OrderService need POJO which belongs to ProductService and CustomerService. What is the best way to deal with this dependency between services? Should application needs to design in different way?
Recently, I have gone through many design principles of microservices and realizes that CQRS-ES and data replication with eventual consistency is best solution of this issue. We try to make communication Asynchronous as much as possible, uses point to point synchronous communication between microservices only when necessary.
