I think this article is kind of misleading.

You use messaging for asynchronous communication and REST for synchronous communication. The article makes me believe that using REST for synchronous communication is a kind of deprecated alternative in front of message passing.

Not sure when you saw the HN post, but the original title was "Why messaging is much better than REST for inter-microservice communications" - @dang / HN changed it.

The article specifically points out that this is for inter-service communication. However, you can also use the same system for synchronous communication out the your end user clients, then using the MatsFuturizer: https://mats3.io/docs/sync-async-bridge/
