But what if we have a scenario where we do not want to incur the overhead of encryption for every application? In that scenario instead of configuring the server to force encryption we will instead need the client to initiate the encrypted connection.

Monolithic vs Microservices Architecture

Microservices are an accelerating trend thanks to rousing endorsements from the likes of Google, Netflix, and Amazon.
