Service mesh and caching
In microservices architecture, service mesh and caching can help simplify the architecture of microservices and improve their performance.
Service mesh
Service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that facilitates communication, observability, and control between services in a microservices architecture. It is designed to handle complex communication patterns, provide network-level functions, and enhance the overall manageability of microservices.
The following concepts will help you start with service mesh:
- Service-to-service communication: Service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for handling service-to-service communication. It simplifies complex microservices architectures by managing communication between services.
- Sidecar pattern: Service mesh typically follows the sidecar pattern, where a proxy sidecar container is deployed alongside each microservice. These sidecars handle communication, leaving microservices free from...
