In this issue, we continue our exploration of microservices interview questions. We will cover the following topics:
What is an API Gateway?
What are the differences between REST and RPC?
What is a configuration manager?
What are common microservices fault tolerance approaches?
How do we manage distributed transactions?
How do we choose between monolithic and microservices architectures?
You can find more information on the definition of microservices and their basic components in our previous article.
We will now dive into the API gateway, an important request entry point in a microservices architecture.
1. What is API Gateway?
In a microservices architecture, an API gateway acts as a single entry point for client requests. The API gateway is responsible for request routing, composition, and protocol translation. It also provides additional features like authentication, authorization, caching, and rate limiting.
The diagram below shows the key steps:
Step 1: The client sends an HTTP request to the API gateway.
Step 2: The API gateway parses and validates the attributes in the HTTP request.
Step 3: The API gateway checks allow/deny lists.
Step 4: The API gateway authenticates and authorizes through an identity provider.
Step 5: Rate-limiting rules are applied. Requests over the limit are rejected.
Steps 6 and 7: The API gateway routes the request to the relevant backend service by path matching.
Step 8: The API gateway transforms the request into the appropriate protocol and forwards it to backend microservices.
Step 9: The API gateway handles any errors that may arise during request processing for graceful degradation of service.
Step 10: The API gateway implements resiliency patterns like circuit brakes to detect failures and prevent overloading interconnected services, avoiding cascading failures.
Step 11: The API gateway utilizes observability tools like the ELK stack (Elastic-Logstash-Kibana) for logging, monitoring, tracing, and debugging.
Step 12: The API gateway can optionally cache responses to common requests to improve responsiveness.
Besides request routing, the API gateway can also aggregate responses from microservices into a single response for the client.
The API gateway is different from a load balancer. While both handle network traffic, the API gateway operates at the application layer, mainly handling HTTP requests; the load balancer mostly operates at the transport layer, dealing with TCP/UDP protocols. The API gateway offers more functions as it sees the request payload.
The API gateway differs from a load balancer in that it typically operates at the application layer to handle HTTP requests and understand message payloads, while traditional load balancers work at the transport layer to handle TCP/UDP connections without looking at the application data.
However, the lines can blur between these two types of infrastructure. Some advanced load balancers are gaining application layer visibility and routing capabilities resembling API gateways.
But in general, API gateways focus on application-level concerns like security, routing, composition, and resilience based on the payload, while traditional load balancers map requests to backend servers mainly based on transport-level metadata like IP and port numbers.
We often have separate API gateways tailored for different clients and their user experience requirements. The diagram below shows a typical architecture. We have different API gateways to handle requests from mobile devices and web applications because they have unique requirements for user experiences. Additionally, we separate WebSocket API Gateway because it has different connection persistence and rate-limiting requirements compared to HTTP gateways.
Some recent API gateway trends:
GraphQL support. GraphQL is a type system and a query language for APIs. Many API gateways now offer integration with GraphQL.
Service Mesh integration. Service meshes like Istio and Linkerd are used to handle communications among microservices. API gateways are integrating with them to enhance traffic management capabilities.
AI integration. API gateways are integrating with AI capabilities to enable smarter request routing or anomaly detection in traffic patterns.
2. What Are the Differences Between REST and RPC?
REST (Representational State Transfer) and RPC (Remote Procedure Call) are two common architectural patterns used for communications in distributed systems. REST is used for client-server communications, and RPC is used for server-server communications, as illustrated in the diagram below.

When did you start holiday shopping? The gift-giving season is getting longer.
On Point

•
Early Black Friday. US retailers slashed prices more deeply in October this year as they kicked off Black Friday sales weeks before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, an analysis of more than one trillion e-commerce site visits revealed. Bigger discounts on appliances, clothing, and other merchandise prompted consumers to spend more online that month even as overall consumer spending declined. However, retailers could be training shoppers to expect constant markdowns, which could be problematic in the long run, a consumer behavior expert said. [CNBC]
•
Hunting for deals. US holiday shoppers in 2023 are buying smaller pack sizes, searching for lower prices, and shifting to private labels as they seek value, McKinsey partner Tamara Charm shares on an episode of the McKinsey on Consumer and Retail podcast. In search of the best prices, consumers are shopping both earlier and later in the year, resulting in a longer holiday season. But with the year feeling like “a continuous run of promotions,” retailers will have to do more to create a sense of urgency, partner Colleen Baum adds.
•
Dazzling consumers. Many US consumers are becoming more selective about what they buy, so brands must consider how to inspire consumers this holiday season, Charm explains. Sharing videos on social media that show families how to make holiday crafts can give consumers a reason to spend. Although most US consumers want to trade down, around a third of them also say that they want to splurge, McKinsey’s ConsumerWise research shows. Listen to the full podcast episode to learn what consumers expect this holiday season.

What’s on the minds of European consumers?
On Point
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
Better protections. European consumers will pay more for services if companies provide gig economy workers with more comprehensive social protections, but the price increases won’t destroy companies’ corporate models, a senior official contends. Rideshare and delivery prices may rise by as much as 40% if platform workers receive benefits such as sick leave, according to government estimates. One ride-hailing company leader has said that the price hikes may lead to service being eliminated in hundreds of locations throughout Europe. [FT]
•
Mixed feelings. In the third quarter of 2023, European consumer confidence held steady, while mixed feelings about the economy grew, McKinsey senior partner Jessica Moulton and coauthors reveal. This came after a significant increase in optimism in the preceding quarter. Price stabilization and a continuing economic recovery helped maintain optimism. Germany experienced a slight decline in consumer confidence, while Spanish consumers expressed increasing confidence. Inflation remained the top concern for two-thirds of consumers.
•
Health and environmental factors. Across apparel, food, household supplies, and personal care, about half of European consumers ranked a variety of health and environmental factors—such as whether a product is recyclable—as important to them when making a purchase. The absence of artificial ingredients, particularly in food and personal-care products, was also an important consideration. Explore our latest ConsumerWise research in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK for a snapshot of the European consumer.

For fashion industry leaders, what ten themes will matter most in 2024?
On Point
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
Luxury vintage finds. A $34,500 designer clutch, a $3,000 pair of classic jeans, a $775 leather hat: a high-end vintage store that two friends opened in the 1990s has become known for carrying one-of-a-kind pieces. The company’s West Broadway outpost is often frequented by celebrities, stylists, and VIPs. That wasn’t the case 30 years ago, when fashionable people tended to snub secondhand stores, the store’s cofounder said. As the pre-owned luxury market has since taken off, the company now competes with big e-commerce platforms. [NYT]
•
Slower growth. The fashion industry faced persistent and deepening challenges in 2023. Growth was slow throughout the year in Europe and the US, and China’s initially strong performance faded in the second half of 2023. Although the luxury segment initially fared well, it too began to feel the effects of weaker demand in the latter part of the year, McKinsey senior partner Gemma D’Auria and coauthors share. According to McKinsey’s analysis of fashion forecasts, the global industry will post top-line growth of 2 to 4% in 2024.

The changing face of globalization: A leader’s guide
Share this email
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
In a time of near-constant disruption and tension, the urge to disconnect seems tempting. But people, companies, and societies are deeply interdependent. Even as the norms of and attitudes toward globalization continue to evolve, globalization isn’t going away; it just needs to be considered with fresh eyes. As a new year approaches, it may be a good time to ponder a new way of thinking about our interconnected world and how business leaders can enable global cooperation to benefit both their companies and the world at large.
For four decades, the world economy has grown tremendously from the cross-border movement of trade, services, capital, people, data, and ideas: in other words, “globalization.” And for much of this time, multinationals have led the way in breaking through geographic and economic borders—benefiting greatly in the process. But “some analysts are now calling this paradigm into question,” say McKinsey’s Michael Birshan, Joe Ngai, Jeongmin Seong, and Olivia White. Cooperation has plateaued amid geopolitical conflict, supply chain disruption, and the broader discussion of who is benefiting (and who isn’t) from trends in trade. The challenge for leaders seems daunting, but the implications can’t be ignored. To deliver business value and enable future collaboration, the authors suggest three ways forward: raising the geopolitical fluency of leadership teams, rigorously assessing the interconnectedness between their businesses and the broader world (and the related risks), and diversifying organizations’ exposure to those risks.
That’s the minimum percentage of important resources or manufactured goods that every region in the world imports. “No region is self-sufficient,” say the authors of a McKinsey Global Institute report on global trade flows. Indeed, in many cases, this percentage is much higher. For example, while the Middle East and North Africa region is the largest net exporter of energy resources, it depends on other regions for more than 60 percent of its key food crops.
That’s from McKinsey’s Andrew Grant, Ziad Haider, and Jean-Christophe Mieszala, who propose six ways to address the geopolitical risks that are shaping (and reshaping) globalization’s current state. One of these ways is building organizational resilience. Leaders can create organizational resilience through inclusive governance structures and open and honest dialogues with their people—by acknowledging the effect of global stresses on individuals, empowering colleagues to speak up, and creating a common sense of purpose. The McKinsey authors suggest that organizations “consider a range of targeted initiatives to promote connectivity and cohesion, from rotating colleagues in and out of geopolitically sensitive markets to sharing views.”
One of globalization’s most maligned effects is the movement of jobs across borders, typically away from more expensive labor markets, such as the United States. But in many US industries, entrepreneurs and creators have been rewriting these rules—and, in some cases, reconnecting with their roots. Case in point: the jewelry start-up scene in Rhode Island, a hub of the US jewelry-making industry for centuries. As the industry shifted largely offshore in the past 50 years, jobs in Rhode Island’s jewelry industry took a massive hit. But a new wave of local designers are setting up factories near Providence, the state’s capital. “There’s an established jewelry ecosystem here,” said one business owner. “We can source all our components within a few-mile radius.” Indeed, McKinsey’s Achim Berg, Alexander Thiel, and coauthors have reported a “sustainability surge” in the fine-jewelry market, as sustainable practices—including the length of companies’ supply chains—become more top of mind for jewelry consumers.
Lead by reconnecting the dots.

What are leading companies doing to grow and innovate?

•
Partners in innovation. As technologies continue to advance rapidly, CIOs can no longer rely solely on internal IT teams to solve all of an enterprise’s problems. Successful digital leaders are developing a variety of business partnerships, including with external vendors and start-ups, to generate innovative solutions. One global beverage company, for instance, is working with a tech company to stop its factories from experiencing water leaks. Through an AI-based system, the company is able to reduce its annual water consumption by 25%. [CIO]
•
Innovative growers. In an era of endless disruption, innovation remains a must-have, not just a nice-to-have, McKinsey partner Rebecca Doherty and coauthors explain. To learn what role innovation plays in growth and vice versa, we analyzed about 650 of the largest public companies that achieved profitable growth relative to their industry between 2016 and 2021 while also excelling in innovation. While some of these companies outgrew their peers, and others were more innovative than competitors, 53 “innovative growers” managed to do both.

This year marks the second anniversary of Readers & Leaders, your guide to the latest business books leaders are reading—or should be. To (book)mark the occasion, we’re looking back at the launches, bestsellers, and most-read interviews that shaped our 2023.
We produced 43 Author Talks interviews this year from conversations with 56 authors across a range of topics, including leadership, innovative thinking, and change management. Our top interview featured Robert Waldinger, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development and coauthor of the book The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness, who shared insights on what helps people live longer, more fulfilling lives.

Giving customers what they want requires getting personal

Perfecting your approach to personalized marketing
You’ve come a long way, irrelevant pop-up ad. Once a ubiquitous (and always vexatious) interruption flogging some unwanted item, now you are a lean and mean marketing machine—sort of. While companies have gotten better at knowing their customers and what their customers want, today’s digital-savvy omnichannel shoppers demand ever closer attention. Marketers also need to know when customers want something (including before customers know they want it), where they want to hear about it, and how they want to get it—all in a seamless experience that’s direct yet nuanced. It’s no wonder that many companies’ personalized marketing efforts fall short.
Leaders in personalization are continually tweaking and testing their communication efforts with shoppers to strengthen customer loyalty and spur growth. Among their constellation of personalized-marketing efforts, successful companies study individual consumer habits to learn the best time to send a marketing message, explore cross-channel communication efforts to reach customers both online and offline, and use data from loyalty programs to help personalize product offers more effectively.
To help ensure that your targeted communications are reaching your consumers in ways they want, read our 2017 classic “What shoppers really want from personalized marketing,” from McKinsey senior partners Julien Boudet and Brian Gregg and coauthors.Get personal 
The value of getting personalization right—or wrong—is multiplying
