Abstract:

The change in monolithic to microservices architectures in recent years has transformed the construction and administration of scalable systems. This paper investigates how popular Java-based microservices framework Spring Boot might be integrated with Azure Service Bus, a cloud-native message broker. The research shows the benefits of asynchronous communication in distributed systems by analysing architectural patterns, design principles, and experimental performance evaluations: enhanced scalability, fault tolerance, and throughput among other things. We demonstrate by case studies and benchmarks that combining Spring Boot with Azure Service Bus produces better performance than conventional REST-based communication. Key research gaps and future directions concerning serverless processing, artificial intelligence-driven routing, edge integration, and standardised observability are noted at the review's conclusion.
