Optimizing large parameter passing in a service mesh

摘要

A computer-implemented method, apparatus, system and computer program product for optimizing parameter data passing between services in a service mesh, the method including receiving, at a first service, a request for the first service, the request including parameter data; storing the parameter data in a request parameter store, retrieving the parameter data from the request parameter store; the first service initiating a request for a second service, the parameter data in the request being replaced by a unique token identifying the parameter data in the request parameter store; and responsive to the second service using the parameter data, retrieving the parameter data from the request parameter store.
