What this PR does / why we need it:
Currently, inter-container communication within the same Pod relies on HTTP over TCP (loopback or pod IP).
This approach introduces unnecessary networking overhead and requires opening or allocating TCP ports, even though the traffic never leaves the Pod.
By using Unix domain sockets (UDS), we can:
Reduce overhead for local inter-container communication
Eliminate the need to expose or bind TCP ports within the Pod
Improve security by leveraging file system permissions to control access
