Microservice Discovery Patterns and Service Registry

provide to register and discover microservices in the

cluster.

▪ Why We Need Service Discovery Pattern ?

When deploying and scaling microservices, more

microservices and instances could be added to the

system to provide scalability to the distributed

application.

▪ Service locations can change frequently, more

dynamic configuration is needed for the microservice

architecture.

▪ IP Addresses and network locations are dynamically

assigned and often change due to auto-scaling features.

▪ Service Registry and Discovery pattern allows to find

the network locations of microservices without injecting

or coupling services.
