Sidecar-patroon in ASP.NET Core microservices

Back to overview

The sidecar pattern is a design approach for microservices-based ASP.NET Core applications that addresses cross-cutting concerns such as monitoring, logging, and configuration. Rather than tightly integrating these components into the main application, the sidecar pattern deploys them as separate services alongside the application. This decoupling reduces the risk of outages in supporting components bringing down the entire application while maintaining efficient resource utilization.
