In this section, we’re going to learn about services that need to discover and communicate with each other dynamically and how these services can help you create the next generation of applications while you exceed in your work. Service discovery and API gateways are critical components in the infrastructure of microservices architecture. They play essential roles in ensuring that microservices can communicate with each other effectively and that clients can access the services seamlessly.

We’ll explore these concepts in more detail in the following subsections.

Service discovery

Service discovery is the process by which microservices locate and communicate with each other in a dynamic and distributed environment. As microservices can be deployed and scaled independently, their network locations (IP addresses and ports) can change frequently. Service discovery mechanisms solve this challenge by maintaining an up-to-date registry...
