Abstract
This specification describes methods, systems, and computer-readable media for sidecar-backed services for a cloud computing platform. An application is bound to a service. A transformer component of the cloud computing platform transforms credential information for accessing the service by replacing an access address to the service with a localhost address to a sidecar program associated with the application. When the application uses the service, the application communicates with the sidecar program rather than with the service directly. The sidecar program then forwards the communication to the service.
