Run a minimal Consul cluster with service discovery, health checks, and Connect intentions to enforce mTLS between internal services.
Deciding between Traefik's Docker and File providers involves balancing automatic service discovery against centralized security and external service support.
Stop hardcoding service IPs. Learn how the Moleculer Service Broker uses transporters and service discovery to provide location transparency and automatic load balancing in microservices.
Learn how to use Consul's DNS interface to replace hardcoded IPs with dynamic service discovery and automated health checking.
Use the Consul agent HTTP API to register a service with a TTL health check, verify catalog and DNS visibility, and recover from critical checks or deregistration.
Learn how to configure gRPC clients to spread traffic across multiple service instances using built‑in load‑balancing policies, when it makes sense, and what trade‑offs to watch for.
Hardcoded service IPs break under autoscaling. Consul replaces them with a self-registering catalog and DNS-based discovery—if you tune health checks and TTLs correctly.
Ephemeral services behind NAT need discovery that fails fast without flapping. This guide compares Consul's pull-based HTTP/TCP checks and push-based TTL checks, then shows how to validate that only healthy instances answer DNS and HTTP queries.
Learn how to use Traefik Docker labels to implement dynamic routing. This guide covers Host and PathPrefix rules, port mapping, and common pitfalls like regex escaping.
