Microservices Architecture Questions
The role of a service registry in microservices architecture is to act as a centralized directory or database that keeps track of all the available services within the system. It allows microservices to dynamically discover and communicate with each other without having to know their specific locations or configurations. The service registry provides a way for services to register themselves and their network locations, and also allows other services to query and locate the required services based on their specific needs. This decoupling of services through a service registry enables flexibility, scalability, and resilience in a microservices architecture.
