Description: A service proxy is an intermediary that forwards client requests to the appropriate service. This component acts as a bridge between clients and backend services, facilitating communication and request management. Service proxies are fundamental in microservices architectures, where multiple services may be running and need to interact with each other efficiently. By using a proxy, features such as load balancing, authentication, request routing, and traffic monitoring can be implemented. Additionally, service proxies can help abstract the complexity of the underlying infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on business logic without worrying about the details of service communication. In summary, a service proxy not only improves the efficiency of interactions between clients and services but also provides an additional layer of security and control over data traffic.
