Abstract

In an example embodiment, a solution is provided that causes a binary used by an in-memory database application to be deployed in a separate container. The container with the binary may be called a “sidecar” to the container with the in-memory database application. Both containers mount the same path in the hosts shared filesystem to expose the binary to the application. There is no permanent connection between the two containers, and thus the binary can be updated individually without inducing a downtime of the in-memory database application.
