Service Registry

A Service Registry is a specialized database or directory that keeps track of different software services within a network or system. It helps these services discover each other by storing their locations, capabilities, and how to connect. Think of it as a directory service, similar to a phone book, but for digital services. This enables efficient communication and coordination among various parts of an application or system, especially in complex or distributed environments like cloud computing or microservices architectures. The Service Registry ensures that services can find and interact with each other reliably and dynamically.
