Choosing the Best Communication Method for AWS Containers: TCP vs. Unix Domain Sockets
Choosing the Best Communication Method for AWS Containers: TCP vs. Unix Domain Sockets
Containerized applications rely on seamless communication between services for optimal performance. In this podcast, we’ll explore container-to-container communication, specifically comparing TCP sockets and Unix Domain Sockets (UDS) in the context of AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS). By the end, you’ll gain insights into architectural choices, benchmarking results, and recommendations for implementing efficient communication mechanisms in AWS-based container environments.
