Sidecar
Sidecar Pattern
Definition
The Sidecar pattern deploys a helper container alongside a primary application container in the same pod or host, providing supplementary capabilities without modifying the application. Common sidecar uses include logging agents, service mesh proxies (Envoy in Istio), and secret injectors.
Sidecars enable cross-cutting concerns to be added to applications consistently without code changes.
