Alibaba Cloud claims K8s service meshes are resource hogs
Briefly

In Alibaba Cloud's estimation, sidecars 'cause numerous problems, including intrusion into the user pod, excessive resource occupation, significant overhead in managing many sidecars, and performance degradation caused by passing traffic through the sidecar.'
Alibaba Cloud's Canal Mesh proved significantly higher throughput and lower latency compared to Istio and Ambient, leading to the conclusion that complete decoupling of service mesh from user clusters is more effective.
