Description: The application service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that facilitates service-to-service communications in a microservices architecture. This technology allows for efficient management of interactions between different services, providing features such as request routing, security management, observability, and resilience. By acting as an intermediary, the service mesh helps decouple services, allowing developers to focus on business logic without worrying about the complexities of service communication. Additionally, it facilitates the implementation of security policies and access control, as well as the collection of metrics and logs for performance monitoring. In a cloud-native environment, the service mesh integrates seamlessly, leveraging containerization and orchestration capabilities, resulting in more agile and scalable management of microservices-based applications.
