**Service Discovery**

What is Service Discovery?

Service discovery is the process of automatically detecting and locating available services on a network. In modern, distributed systems like microservices architectures, service discovery allows applications to dynamically find the network locations (IP addresses and ports) of other services they depend on. This is crucial because service instances are often ephemeral and their locations change frequently due to scaling, failures, or updates. Common service discovery mechanisms include DNS-based approaches, centralized service registries (like Consul, etcd, or ZooKeeper), and sidecar proxies (like those used in service meshes).
