Building microservices is easy; operating microservices architectures is difficult.

Many companies have successfully deployed tools such as Kubernetes, but still face run-time complexity. Service Mesh is a solution to these challenges. It greatly simplifies the management of containerized applications, making it easier to monitor and secure microservices-based applications.

So what are the three most important factors to consider when using Service Mesh?

security

Because the Service Mesh operates on a data plane, it can provide application security across the grid, providing greater security than in multi-tier environments such as Kubernetes. The Service Mesh ensures communication between services so that you know who the Service is talking to and whether the communication is trusted.

observability

Most failures in the microservice space occur during interactions between services, so “viewification” of these transactions can help teams better manage the architecture to avoid failures. The Service Mesh provides a view of what happens when your services interact with each other. Service Mesh also greatly improves tracing capabilities and provides the ability to add tracing without touching all applications, which is what we call non-invasive and transparent Service Mesh code.

simple

Service Mesh is not a new technology, but rather a pattern that makes it easier to manage the infrastructure layer. For example, when we need to find a Service and make a connection, DNS is sufficient, but DNS does not provide the fast retries or health monitoring that Service Mesh can provide to solve more advanced problems. You can piece things together to solve most of the problems that Service Mesh solves, but why bother piecing together when you can only interact with a Service Mesh that provides disposable, reusable packaging?
