UNIX sockets are underestimated. They can be used for connections between programs on a local machine (e.g. a CLI program for a server, or a controller and its workers) the same way as a TCP socket, but with the advantage of being actual files with permissions for access control.
The only downside is that some languages/runtimes do not automatically delete
them on close, which is annoying the next time the server starts up.
