1. A system for serving micro-service data over a communications network, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-usable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
receive at a micro-service data gateway a request from a user equipment (UE) for micro-service data available from at least one data source exposed by a network exposure function (NEF) of a network operator core, wherein the micro-service gateway comprises a network node distinct from the NEF, coupled to a network edge of the network operator core between the network operator core and the UE requestor of the micro-service data; and
in response to the request, retrieve the micro-service data from a data cache comprising at least a subset of micro-service data available from the at least one data source, and provide the micro-service data to the UE requestor of the micro-service data, wherein the micro-service data gateway comprises the data cache and responds to the UE requestor to provide the micro-service data.
