1. Scenario:

In this usecase , we will create a scenario of frontend, backend and database. Here frontend should be able to communicate with backend, and backend should communicate with both frontend and database. Frontend and database should not communicate with each other.

2. Why We Need This Use Case

  • In modern microservices architecture, multiple containers need to communicate securely and efficiently.

  • Ensures proper isolation and segmentation between different services like frontend, backend, and database.

  • Helps in understanding real-time networking challenges in containerized environments.

  • Enables scalability and load balancing by efficiently managing inter-container communication.

3. When We Need This Use Case

  • When deploying multi-tier applications using containers.

  • To achieve secure and isolated communication between different components of an application.

  • When working with Docker Swarm or Kubernetes and need to understand container networking.

  • When testing network configurations in a development environment before moving to production.
