A service mesh is an infrastructure layer that controls communication between microservices, allowing for dynamic routing, load balancing, and observability without modifying application code.
In microservices, managing communication becomes complex as the number of services grows. A service mesh simplifies this by automating service discovery, load balancing, and security.
The data plane consists of lightweight proxies that intercept traffic, while the control plane manages these proxies to enforce policies regarding traffic management and security.
Popular service mesh solutions like Istio and Linkerd provide essential capabilities for traffic management and observability, helping businesses effectively manage their microservices architecture.
