What is Service Mesh?

A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for handling service-to-service communication. It's often implemented as a network of lightweight proxies that mediate communication between services, providing features like traffic management, security, and observability. Service meshes are commonly used in cloud-native applications to manage the complexity of microservices architectures.
