+It is possible to horizontally scale the manifest service, as more clients are fetching resources from this service. Each instance maintains a cache of all files locally (in memory), allowing to scale easily.

+## Ingress
+
+When using Ingress to make the service available to the public, the service is intended to be
+configured as a "fallback" or "default" service to answer all requests that are not specified
+to be served by one of the other services (e.g like everything under /api). This should simplify
+the Ingress configuration. One example can be found
+[in the manifest-service repository](https://gitlab.open-xchange.com/frontend/Infrastructure/manifest-service/-/blob/main/.gitlab-ci/kubernetes-resources.yaml).
