A software engineer integrates multiple microservices. Which failure mode becomes likely when inter-service communication lacks explicit message schemas?

💡 Explanation

Semantic drift causes incoherence because, without explicit schemas, services evolve independently, misinterpreting messages. Therefore, loss of coherence occurs due to schema divergence, rather than memory allocation, polynomial scaling, or resource contention, which are related to resource management.
