    Abstract: In various embodiments a computer-implemented method for communicating sets of entities in a content catalog is disclosed. The method includes loading an entity index into memory at a microservice, where the entity index comprises entity identifiers corresponding to titles in a catalog, and where each identifier in the entity index is mapped to an ordinal number. The method also includes composing a message including a bitset to identify titles from the catalog, where a bit in the bitset is set if a position of the bit in the bitset corresponds to a respective ordinal number in the entity index associated with the one or more titles. Additionally, the method includes transmitting the message to a different microservice where a memory for the recipient microservice comprises a copy of the entity index, and where the bitset comprised within the message is decoded into entity identifiers using the entity index.
