Service mesh

Sidecar proxies next to each service handle retries, timeouts, mutual TLS and telemetry for service-to-service traffic, so this logic is not rewritten in every codebase.

Where it shows up in real systems

  • Service mesh

    Moves resilience and security out of application code into infrastructure, with uniform telemetry for every call. Each hop pays a little latency and the mesh itself is critical infrastructure to operate.

    In production: Istio, Linkerd, Consul Connect, AWS App Mesh, Cilium
