How to Mock a Service Mesh Sidecar Proxy in Python
Simulate a service mesh sidecar proxy with route registration, service discovery, and request proxying using a simple Python class.
class SidecarProxy:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
self.routes = {}
self.services = {}
self.requests_processed = 0
def register_service(self, service_name, address, port):
self.services[service_name] = f"{address}:{port}"
