How do microservices handle data replication?

Mid Microservices
Quick Answer Data replication across microservices: event-driven - services subscribe to events and maintain their own copies of needed data. Change Data Capture (CDC) - stream DB changes (Debezium reads Postgres WAL) to other services. Read replicas for performance. The goal is that each service has what it needs locally without cross-service DB queries at runtime.

Answer

Using CDC, event streams, materialized views, and distributed caching.
