Service Mesh
Reviewed by Devopsify Platform Team, · Checked by Devopsify Infrastructure & Reliability group,
A dedicated infrastructure layer for service-to-service communication: traffic policy, encryption, retries and telemetry without application code changes.
Adopt it for consistent mTLS, fine-grained routing and uniform observability across polyglot services - not for a three-service system where a library suffices. Watch the operational cost: the mesh is itself distributed infrastructure with failure modes to plan for.
