Handling user request in Microservice Architecture powered by Messaging inter-communication (f.e. RabbitMQ)

I'm just starting with Microservice Architecture and investigating how to build that on top of messaging bus.

There is one concern which bothers me right now - how do I handle a simple query-like request from user or when microservice needs some data from other microservice to serve a response? (f.e. getOrderList, or getUserNameById)

I know there is a RPC pattern in RabbitMQ, but everybody is strongly recommending to avoid that (as it brings temporal coupling) and use async communication instead.

Yes, you have to use async communication in order to make sure that services are temporally decoupled. Here is a good series of articles that explains reasoning behind that design decision in-depth.

Also, consider reading about CQRS/ES approach to design microservices, it was an eye-opener for me when I first discovered it.
