Preface-Scalable Open Financial Architecture(SOFAStack)-阿里云帮助中心

This training introduces Service Mesh protocol plugins and feature plugins. Protocol plugins allow you to connect proprietary protocols for different scenarios. Feature plugins provide capabilities such as protocol transformation, interceptors, and dynamic configuration. These plugins help you integrate systems efficiently and cost-effectively.

Training objectives

Provide customers in the external ecosystem with extension points through the plugin mechanism and offer comprehensive productization capabilities.
Deliver a standard product that allows customers to perform custom development based on this training.
