The Sidecar Pattern 🛵
Ever felt stuck because your microservices speak different protocols, each demanding its own library? Or maybe the best library for a protocol is only available in a specific language, forcing you to rewrite parts of your service?
That is where the Sidecar pattern comes in. It lets you keep your services simple while offloading protocol handling to a companion process. No rewrites. No language lock-in.
If you try it, keep it local and run your sidecar in the same environment as your microservice.
