Description

Creates a helper service that sends network requests on behalf of a client or consumer. It acts as a proxy that is co-located with the client.

Where to use

• Client-side load balancing.
\n
• Smart routing.
\n
• Circuit breaking logic on client side.

Real World Example

A legacy application needs to call a secure cloud API. An Ambassador proxy is installed on the localhost that handles the mTLS authentication, so the legacy app just calls localhost:8000.

Code Example

# Code Concept for Ambassador Pattern
# This pattern is architectural.

class Service:
    def execute(self):
        # Implementation logic
        pass
