Messages for Communicating Between Microservices using Laravel

Sorry if this sounds kind of bookish. But, this is the first time I’m going to do something like this in a project.

So, in a project I'm currently planning, I am building a microservice-driven e-Commerce web application. As I’m doing my research, I learned there is a need for messaging between service applications (bounded contexts in Domain Driven Design terms). The resources I’ve been reading mention that there are ”messaging frameworks” available to help in fulfilling such requirements.

I was wondering if Laravel supported this functionality, as I am considering using laravel for my architectural layer. Or is there another library that is best suited for this?

Thanks.

Is there a reason you can't just use HTTP and JSON?

A lot of the stuff you read about microservices leads down the path of thinking you need to operate at Netflix or Google scale.

@topvillas It’s mostly for learning purposes. And, to make it easier to scale out the application down the line. But primarily the former. :)
